Dexter, Missouri – Do you suffer from severe pain in your hip? Hear Dr. Hamid R. Redjal discuss his innovative anterior approach to total hip replacement at a free informational seminar on Tuesday, June 17, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. at the Dexter Chamber of Commerce on W. Market Street.

Whether from arthritis or injury, hip pain can keep you from being active and even create additional pain in the back and other areas.  Traditional hip replacement surgery can relieve this pain, but requires substantial recovery time, especially if both hips need to be replaced.

If you are considering surgery, but are concerned about how long it will take to recover, SoutheastHEALTH has the solution:  Anterior Hip Replacement.  Their team of specialists has pioneered a technique that dramatically reduces recovery time and gets you back on your feet faster.

The anterior approach is an alternative to traditional hip replacement surgery that is rapidly becoming the standard for minimally invasive hip replacements.  Since the incision is made in the front of the hip rather than in the back or side, there is less pain, improved mobility and shorter recovery time.  Dr. Redjal is the only doctor in southeast Missouri that performs this surgery.

Dr. Redjal received his medical degree at Georgetown University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C.  Following medical school, he completed an orthopedic surgery internship and residency at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, California.  Following his residency program, Dr. Redjal completed a total joint, hip and pelvis reconstruction surgery fellowship under Dr. Joel Matta at St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California.
