Summary: need new hips, read this book
Comment: If you are young (or older and active) and considering hip replacement, read this book. It was instrumental in helping me prepare for the ultimate decision; and prepare for the surgery- exercise, exercise, exercise! The fitter and stronger you are going in, the faster and better you'll be going out. Get involved, don't let the surgeons and insurance companies make all the decisions...they are your hips. Find the best surgeon...Johns Hopkins in Baltimore- Dr. Wenz did mine.

Summary: Useful and generally interesting
Comment: The experiences and explanations provided are primarily devoted to total hip replacement. Interesting combination of viewpoints - orthopedic surgeon, physical therapist and patient - makes book more helpful to those facing the daunting prospect of a total hip replacement. Helps somewhat to decrease anxiety about the surgery and recovery. Information is generally accurate.
Rating: 5
Summary: A fantastic guide from diagnosis to surgery
Comment: When I first picked up this book I thought that its utility would be limited to "living with arthritis" but my hip arthritis progressed quickly and within two years I was planning for total hip replacement. Ron Allen's perpective has helped buoy my spirits and has helped me find the determination to make it through what will be a tough few months.
