Good afternoon all. I am in need of a top notch reputable orthopedic surgeon who has done both hips and knees. I live in Ashtabula Ohio. I have Googled every Dr. within a 100 mile radius and it has been hard trying to sort them all out. I need a surgeon who has put knees in legs that have been traumatized (three hip replacements) and now my very crooked knee needs replaced but by someone with lots of expertise in both areas...total knee and hips. Thanks for any answers forthcoming.
I can only recommend a surgeon in Chicago. Have you looked at the surgeons the sports teams in Cleveland use? Those guys have seen almost everything. The surgeon I used in Chicago, a doctor Wixson. He developed the Wixson hip. I was lucky enough to fall into his good hands,though when I saw him h etold me he would not work on a knee done by someone else. My other knew was done by a doc in Atlanta when I lived there and that one was not the issue. He took one look at my bad knee and knew right away it needed to be done ASAP. Seven weeks after surgery I was on a plane to AZ to watch spring training games.
I hope you are able to find someone soon. If you want to stay closer to home I would really recommend asking what surgeons the pro sports team use.
