“The Mini-Incision hip replacement procedure changed my life,” says Gerald, a sales representative from Staten Island, N.Y.
Gerald had been suffering from the pain of osteoarthritis in both of his hips for years. He had been an avid tennis player, but eventually, his symptoms were so advanced that he could hardly sit, stand, or walk, let alone play tennis.
He saw a TV news report about the Zimmer Mini-Incision hip replacement procedure, and called immediately to make an appointment with a local surgeon.
The day after each hip replacement surgery – performed a year and a half apart – he walked with the help of a walker and a physical therapist. Two weeks later, Gerald was walking on his own.
Gerald now works without pain and travels to his sales and client meetings with ease. He plays doubles tennis with his wife and is thankful for the renewed freedom to enjoy an active life again.
