When you have places to go, people to meet, and
companies to run, the last thing you need is hip pain
slowing you down.
That’s how local business leaders Paul Divis and Steve
Durham felt. With commitments to their families, their
companies, and their personal wellness, the hip pain
had to go.
Fortunately, these men were referred to Phil
Berry, MD, orthopedic surgeon at Methodist Dallas
Medical Center, with more than two decades of
experience performing the life-changing anterior
approach hip replacement.
“With the anterior approach, you enter the hip
from the front, going between muscles,” Dr. Berry
says. “The recovery time is so much less than with the
standard old way of doing hip replacements — only
three weeks instead of three months.”
Here’s a brief look at how Paul and Steve have left
hip pain behind them since receiving their new hips.
