“The effects of taking steroids caused the head of my femur to collapse, resulting in hip pain for 2 years. The doctor recommended a new technique of hip surgery that does not involve cutting the muscle. Once I understood the process, I was even more confident. After the surgery, I was able to get up and start walking, recover quickly, and the hip pain completely disappeared. If I had known the treatment results would be like this, I would have had the surgery a long time ago.”
