Default hip arthritis, Platelet rich plasma, orthopedic surgeon
I have searched previous threads and was unable to find the information I need. My husband has recently been diagnosed with "marked" hip osteoarthritis based on xray. Our PCP does not recommend a cortisone injection, and states that the next step is a hip replacement. He may not be a good surgical candidate based on age (81) and other health issues. I would appreciate any recommendations from the thoughtful folks on TOTV regarding the efficacy of platelet rich plasma injections or stem cell injections and the physician who performed this procedure for you. I would also ask for recommendations for an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in hip replacement. I appreciate your recommendations.
