Why is it taking so long for a hip replacement? I thought it had to be done immediately. God bless you. So sorry for Ll the devastation in NC. Praying and sent what I could.

Here, it takes several months before one is scheduled for the surgery and when you do get a surgical date it is several, 2 or 3, months in the future. This town has undergone extremely rapid growth and the medical community has simply not been able to keep up. We have only so many lower extremity surgeons. It takes several months to get in. But once in, the treatment is first class.
