    Hip Replacement Fixed Knee Pain Too

    By the time he saw Dr. Robert Yarbrough, Randy Martin had been suffering from severe bone-on-bone knee pain for almost 30 years. But could Randy's knee pain actually be coming from his hip? After watching Randy walk, Dr. Yarbrough ordered hip x-rays. The biggest sign of a hip problem is groin or knee pain. This is usually associated with loss of motion, swelling, and/or stiffness.

Resurgens Orthopaedics Varied

I was diagnosed with osteo arthritis of the hip a few years ago up north. I put off the surgery for about 3 years but when I moved to Georgia a little over a year ago I decided to look into it again. I was referred to Dr. Yarbrough by a co-worker and couldn't be more happy. He confirmed my diagnosis but wasn't pushy about having the surgery. He gave me plenty of information and offered a couple of treatment options in lieu of replacement surgery. I decided to have the procedure and it was a great decision for me. Dr. Bob was great! i knew exactly what to expect and he was spot on. I would definitely refer him to someone in need of this type of procedure.

Resurgens Orthopaedics Varied

Dr. Yarbrough did total knee replacement. He and his staff are very compassionate and caring. Answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner and in terms I could understand. I highly recommend Dr. Yarbrough.
