X-rays showed mild subchondral sclerosis. Having problem in walking. Treatment?
Patient: Yes, last January my x-rays showed I have mild subchondral sclerosis in my left hip...my abilities for walking, up and down steps, standing as well as intimate relations has deteriorated....I am looking for a doctor in the Holland MI/Zeeland MI area for further consultation regarding hip replacement...this is a condition that runs in my family... Doctor: Hi,Thank you for posting your query.For more clarification in diagnosis, you may get MRI of the hip done. Then, you should consult an Orthopedic surgeon for opinion. Total hip replacement is a safe and effective treatment for your problem.Best wishes,Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM
