Hello,
I don’t know where you live so my recommendation may not be doable. I had a total hip replacement by Edwin Su, MD at Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC. He specializes in hip snd knee replacements and does revision surgery too. He does not participate in Medicare so I paid for my surgery. I followed his post surgery guidelines and participated in PT. Resumed golf, tennis within 3 months and running after 6 months.
His bio can be found on hss.edu and www. edwinsu.com. Reach out if you have questions. Good luck!

My surgeon, Jimmy Chow, also does not take insurance and has withdrawn from Medicare. He is the primary inventor of the Superpath method of minimally invasive hip replacement. Four years ago he replaced my left hip and I had no post surgery pain. Interestingly, seven months ago he replaced my right knee and, again, I had no post surgery pain.
There are a few great ones out there. Finding one can be a challenge.
