Adult Hip Disease-Hip Arthritis
Dr Neiman performs various surgeries on the adult hip, including hip preservation surgery for impingement and total hip replacement via the direct anterior approach.
Dr Neiman clearly understands the diagnosis and treatment of hip impingement. Dr Neiman has traveled nationally and internationally to attend courses and observe the masters of these techniques, including clinical and surgical observation of Dr Reinhold Ganz of Switzerland, known to be the world's pioneer in advancing the understanding and treatment of hip impingement. Dr Neiman has practiced during the evolution of the techniques, along the way performing surgical dislocations, hip arthroscopy, and mini-open hip debridements.
Adult Hip Disease
End Stage Hip Disease is a final pathway for many problems, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, and trauma. This causes severe pain and immobility for many patients, and is often unrelieved until hip replacement is chosen as a treatment.
Adult Hip Disease
For hip replacement surgery, Dr Neiman prefers to use the Direct Anterior Approach, and has received special training over the years to learn this technique. Dr Neiman first learned the Direct Anterior Approach while obtaining post-fellowship training with Dr Joel Matta in Summer/Fall 2001. Over the years Dr Neiman has gained the necessary experience to perform this challenging approach for primary total hips, resurfacing arthroplasty, and certain hip revision surgeries.
