"I required total knee replacement of my left knee. On Nov 2, 2010, I had my replacement. The operation took approximately one hour and I was home three days after the surgery. My treatment and care at HSS was exemplary. Today is Mar 21, 2011 and I am fully capable and have returned to my full work schedule without any pain."
Knee Replacement
"I had two knee replacements, one each stay, at HSS. I was pain-free thanks to intravenous pain medication. This greatly helped my frame of mind stay positive. "
Knee Replacement
"At age 18, I had a double hip procedure performed in order to repair labral tears and enable me to have more motion within my hip joints. I never thought I would be able to dance again. I am now 20 years old, and a member of my college dance team, part of two dance companies, and pain free- I could not be happier!"
Hip Labral Tear
"By the end of the first week I was walking up and down stairs and by the end of February I was driving my car. I started to play golf again on May 1st. "
Hip Replacement
"Within a week I had less pain from that foot than I’d had in at least a year, and now five months later I am a new person, walking as much as I want to with total abandon."
Toe Injury/Condition
"The whole process at HSS was fantastic - If you lie in pain each night because of your hips, just get it replaced."

Ankle Injury/Condition
Hip Injury/Condition
"I got very lucky when I got the name of Dr. S Robert Rozbruch, who did an ankle distraction. I was in a fixator for 3 months (not pleasant, but certainly manageable) and when it was removed, the bone on bone was gone and cartilage had regenerated. "
Ankle Injury/Condition
"5 weeks ago I got a right hip re-surfacing. I feel blessed. I have my life back. Zero pain. Strength and flexibility are back. Everyday better."
Hip Resurfacing
" It is now 4 months since my surgery and I feel like 41 not 61!!! Thank you and again your staff from housekeeping to the top were wonderful!"
Knee Replacement
"Everyone was more than comforting, and they all took the time to explain the entire process to me. Dr. Helfet was able to promise me that I would be able to walk normally again, and even dance at my daughter's wedding in the months to come. "
