I just wanted to pass on that I have had the opportunity of having Dr. Cynthia Kelly of the Colorado Limb Preservation Institute perform three procedures on my hips over the last 5 years. The first was a conserve to repair damage done by advanced bilateral Avascular Necrosis. The following procedure was a femoral graft to save the remaining hip. This graft has been an incredible success and I have had no further issues with my right hip. The conserve was not as good a fit and had to be replaced by a total hip replacement this last January (2008).

All of the procedures done by Dr. Kelly and her staff were exceptional. I would recommend Presbyterian/St. Luke’s, the Limb Preservation Institute and Dr. Kelly’s associates for any surgeries of this nature.

This is just a short note, if you would like additional information, please feel free to contact me directly. I cannot say enough good about the experiences I have had with this group.
