After falling down a flight of stairs, Renee Deschuiteneer was left with pain in both her leg and hip. She coped with the pain as long as she could. However, things got worse to the point where she was forced to use her arms to lift her leg up into the car. At that point, Renee knew it was time to see an orthopedic specialist.
Thankfully for Renee, her consultation was with MCH Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dr. Vache Hambardzumyan. After imaging Renee’s leg and hip, Dr. Vache found extensive damage, including fractures in both her femur and hip.
Finally, there was an explanation for Renee’s pain – and a solution.
Dr. Vache performed hip replacement surgery to fix Renee’s hip, and also repaired her fractured femur and replaced missing bone.
“I love Dr. Vache,” says Renee. “I felt like he understood my pain and anxiety. ‘You’ve been through a lot,’ he told me. ‘You don’t deserve to live in pain.’ That meant a lot to me.”
Following her surgery, Renee says she feels stronger than ever. She’s looking forward to being active this summer. “I’m a young 62,” she laughs, “and I’m ready to ride my bike again. The pain is gone.”
