I had my left hip replaced in October 2012 by Dr. Ramsey. I was told of a different method for this operation from people at the rehab for the right hip replacement I had the previous year. That 2011 replacement was done from the posterior approach and entailed 5 days in the hospital, home care and 4 weeks of outpatient rehab. 

I met with Dr. Ramsey and he described the anterior method; overnight hospital stay, walk out of the hospital with just a cane, little or no home care, and 2 weeks to return to activities. I found this astonishing and hard to believe. 

I am happy to say that this replacement went exactly as promised. The difference in the two hip replacements were like night and day. All of the above plus a huge thing; setting my leg length to exactly match, and a small thing; taking a shower the next day instead of a week later. I have recommended Dr. Ramsey to several people and will continue to do so in the future.
