Between 200,000 and 300,000 hip replacement operations are performed in the United States each year. Join Methodist Sports Medicine / The Orthopedic Specialists and Dr. John Hur, an orthopedic surgeon, for a free hip pain seminar on Nov. 17 at 6:30 p.m.
The community program will be held at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center (Home of the Indianapolis Colts), located at 7001 W. 56th St., Indianapolis, IN.
Dr. Hur will discuss a new hip replacement technique that may speed recovery and decrease postoperative pain for hip replacement procedures. Called the Direct Anterior or “front” approach, this new technique involves making an incision on the front of the hip rather than the side or back as traditionally done.
