 In Total Hip Replacement...A "New Age" is Dawning!
Now younger, more active patients can also benefit from hip replacement
If you suffer from severe hip arthritis, you know how limiting
it can be. As the disease fails to respond to non-operative
treatment, simple activities of daily living - walking, standing
up, dressing, and sleeping - become a struggle due to the
painful hip(s).
During total hip replacement (THR), the diseased hip joint is
removed and replaced with an artificial hip joint implant. In
over 90% of cases, THR results in dramatic pain relief
and return to normal functioning.
Advanced ceramics: a breakthrough in THR
With hip implants generally lasting 20 years,
THR has been reserved for people over age
55. But an advanced ceramic hip implant
now opens the door to THR for younger,
more active patients.
Proven safe and effective, the new ceramic
implant has demonstrated superior wear
performance, meaning that it can be
expected to last even longer than its
metal/plastic implant "cousins."
Dr. Murray is one of the first US orthopaedic surgeons
to offer THR using the advanced ceramic hip implant.
Dr. Murray is a board-certified, fellowship-trained
orthopaedic surgeon. The founder
of Murray Joint Replacement Surgery, he is
"committed to excellence by pledging to
provide the highest quality orthopaedic
care possible."
After completing advanced training in Adult Reconstructive
Joint Surgery at the world-renowned Mayo Clinic, Dr. Murray
entered private practice. Over the past decade, he has
become known as one of the leading joint replacement
specialists in the US. Additional credentials include:
- Medical Degree, Tufts University School of Medicine
- Orthopaedic Surgery Residency, State University of
New York/Health Science Center
- Reconstructive Joint Surgery Fellowship, Mayo Clinic
- Fellow, American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
