Thomas Gross, MD
Hip Resurfacing and Hip/Knee Replacement
Hip resurfacing is a major (non-arthroscopic) operation that replaces damaged cartilage of the hip with two new artificial surfaces. This style of artificial hip results in a near normal hip that allows people to return to full athletic activity.
All About Hip Resurfacing
Dr. Gross is one of only a few surgeons who performs total hip resurfacing. It's the best solution for near-normal reconstruction of the hip joint in severe arthritis. While complex to perform, it has the lowest failure rate of any type of hip reconstruction surgery.
Where Our Patients Come From
We offer patients a unique combination of personal attention in a private practice setting combined with advanced surgical techniques not available in many university centers. As a result, we welcome patients from all over the United States.
All About Hip Arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy is an available minimally invasive surgery for Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI). The goal of the treatment is to decrease pain and increase function by reducing inflammation and optimizing hip and pelvis mechanics.
