Comments: I am 51 and, except for my hip, was in excellent shape in 2009. I had significant limitations in my hip range of motion and pain when I did any moderate physical work, such as transplanting in the garden, which I love to do. The pain ranged from my lower back to my knee. I learned that it was all due to degenerative arthritis in my hip.
On Nov. 29, 2010 I celebrated my one year anniversary of my hip implant by playing golf. I walked the course, pain free. My first golf date post-surgery was January 8, 2010, the first of four straight days of golf.
I sought out Dr. Davidovitch after a client of mine had what I considered to be a very speedy recovery from her anterior implant surgery, done by this doctor. I already knew I was a candidate. I was tired of the pain and limitations, especially not being able to put on a sock without a struggle. After a Thursday morning surgery, I was on my home on Saturday. I had in-home physical therapy for about a week, and was then back to the office and pretty-much a regular schedule. I had more P.T. during December and, just as the Dr. had said, hit the links in Florida on Jan. 8 (wearing more that a sweater in the record cold)!
After about another month of P.T. I started at the gym and have been fine. Some pulling and a little discomfort happen every now and then, probably from scar tissue forming, but it is so much better than it had been. I have no regrets. I think stretching is the key.

My care under Dr. Davidovitch has been excellent.
