Her hip got so painful she thought maybe a replacement could improve her game, or at least let her enjoy it more. “I have been golfing for 12 years, and I enjoy it,” says Kathleen. “I had arthritis in my right hip, and I had put surgery off for quite a while.” Kathleen did what any golfer would do—waited until after golf season to schedule her surgery. Dr. Matthew Hummel, an affiliated orthopaedic surgeon with OrthoCincy Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, who performs surgery at St. Elizabeth Healthcare, scheduled her surgery for November of that year. Kathleen expresses, “St. Elizabeth was right there for me when I needed them the most.” Start Your Joint Replacement Today For more information or to make an appointment with one of our affiliated orthopaedic surgeons from OrthoCincy Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine call (859) 301-BONE (2663).
