"I had my procedure on March 3rd, 2014 and went back to very mild weight lifting after about 6 weeks and then returned to a modified training schedule after 12 weeks. I then continued to train while "listening to my body" and returned to full strength in about 5 or 6 months. Again, paying careful attention to technique and my body. I am extremely grateful to be able to continue to train and expect to go back to competing in the very near future."
Spine Injury/Condition
"He told me that in 6 months I would be happy I had it done. Not so! I was happy in 6 weeks and was so scared to have it done but it was the best thing I ever did."
Shoulder Replacement
Torn Meniscus
"If only more doctors could combine Dr. Cunningham's top of the profession skill in the operating room with his genuine concern and interest in every patient's progress!"
Scoliosis
Hip Replacement
"I saw Dr. Rozbruch at HSS. I realized he might be the answer to my problem and we scheduled the completely non-invasive procedure - left ankle distraction arthroplasty. Six months later I was walking around London not feeling any ankle joint pain. Delusional ideas of auditioning for the Sadler Wells Ballet did drift through my subconscious. Forgive me. In seven years I've not felt the old ankle joint."
Ankle Injury/Condition
Broken Foot
"After having had a right hip replacement in Long Island that went awry and after having been on Oxycontin for 14 months with no help from my surgeon, I finally went to see Dr. Della Valle at HSS. He diagnosed my condition in about 2 minutes and I had the surgery August 31, 2011. "
Hip Revision Surgery
"I had fallen 4 years ago and complained of shooting pain down calf of my leg. I went to 4 different orthopedic specialists over the next 3 years with all different outcomes. Finally, I could not stand the pain and lack of quality of life (I teach Kindergarten). I researched HSS and found Dr. Mayman."
Knee Replacement
Hip Resurfacing
"I own a Commercial Roof Company. I feared I would never climb ladders again. Dr Ranawat was great. The staff was great and Everybody at HSS was great. As an extra I had a fabulous view of the East River. The Pain is gone and I climb ladders like I was 30 years old. Thanks for everything."
Hip Replacement
"Have had two knee surgeries at HSS, and was very impressed with all that I encountered."
