I am an active 55 year old female. After injuring my hip last year, I was having persistent pain that affected every aspect of my mobility. I tried PT, medication and injections but nothing helped. Imaging showed an extensive labral tear and moderate-to-severe arthritis. I thought a replacement was my only option. Then I learned of a new procedure Dr.Wolff was successfully performing called a labral reconstruction. During my consult, he told me he was confident it would restore my hip function and allow me to resume my activities and lifestyle without possible side effects of a replacement. I knew the recovery would be longer, but it was the best option in the long run. Immediately after my surgery, I had no pain and my joint felt secure and stable. At 6 weeks I was walking pain-free without crutches and at 9 weeks I flew home to Canada. It was absolutely the right decision. If you are trying to decide if reconstruction is right for you, trust in Dr. Wolff.
