Enhance Wellbeing and Alleviate Discomfort with Hip Resurfacing Treatment
Hip resurfacing is just as effective as hip replacement in restoring mobility and alleviating pain. Whether it's the right treatment for you will depend on your age and hip condition.
However, as aforementioned, it's important to have the best possible hip resurfacing professional by your side throughout. There are several different ways that you can identify a top-tier hip resurfacing surgeon:
- Experience and certification. Ideally, the clinic that the surgeon is affiliated with should be RACS (Royal Australasian College of Surgeons) certified, which demonstrates their commitment to best practice. Both academic and industrial accolades (orthopaedic awards, and so on) indicate the very highest standards.
- Effective communication. Patients should never have to compromise when it comes to communication. Ensure that your surgeon or specialist answers your questions fully and explains the treatment comprehensively, enabling you to make a fully informed decision.
- Reviews.There are two ways to research a clinic's reputation, and those are to check their online testimonials and seek referrals from healthcare professionals. Preferably, a clinic should prove itself to have a good reputation both from its customers and peers.
