JMP,
I'm a newbie here who has been investigating hip resurfacing. I live in Philadelphia and have heard great things about Dr. Hozack.
I am intrigued that he is not doing resurfacing for now. I would love to know what kind of total hip replacement he recommends, what devices, what materials, ball sizes, etc., for the highly active patient. Also curious if he literally gives hip replacement patients the green light on doing all that patients with resurfacing can do.
I wasn't looking at him for resurfacing per se, as I probably lean towards a doctor whose done more resurfacings than he has done. But from reading around, I sense that in the Philadelphia area, he's considered an excellent surgeon. And there are a number of people who say he's great with direct anterior hip replacement.
Thanks for sharing that info. Hozack is definitely big time in the Philadelphia area.
