Care for Female Patients

While both men and women benefit from the same hip and knee procedures, women often face unique challenges due to biological, hormonal, and social factors. I am dedicated to offering gender-specific care and addressing these needs to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Hormonal Factors and Bone Density

Menopause-related hormonal changes can accelerate bone loss, increasing the risk of fracture after surgery. I have specialized training in techniques that minimize fracture risk and can effectively treat them should they occur. This includes close monitoring of bone health and using implants suited for patients with lower bone density.

Aesthetic Considerations and Scarring

Societal pressures sometimes make women more concerned about visible scarring. I use absorbable materials for closure and employ advanced surgical approaches—especially in hip replacement—that help place incisions in more discreet locations. You can feel confident in both your mobility and the appearance of your surgical scar.

Timing of Joint Replacement

Although women make up 60% of all joint replacements, many delay surgery longer than men. If pain is holding you back from living a full life, I encourage you not to wait. My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care—so that you can return to your daily activities without prolonged discomfort.
