Western Missouri Bone & Joint

"Dr. Rupp performed a hip replacement on 6-8-21. Nothing went right. After surgery one leg was 1 inch shorter than the other. I spent 3 weeks in a rehab center and was in excruciating pain. I couldn't even lay down on the x-ray table without severe pain. The prostetic was sliding into the leg bone. Dr. Rupp said that we could do another hip replacement. Unbeknownst to me he also did a release on my hip muscle (cut the muscle) which basically crippled me. Now I had no use of that leg. I got a second opinion from another surgeon and was told that the prostetic was too small. I had another hip replacement 6 weeks after the first surgery. I had to relearn how to walk again due to the muscle release. Thanks to physical therapy I have taught other muscles to do the work of the released muscle. Now 1 year later I am still with a limp. Go to the city for surgery."

"I highly recommend Dr. Wittgren. I had total hip replacement surgery with a great outcome. Dr. Wittgren is very professional as well as being very caring. His entire staff were both nice and supportive. I'm so happy I found Western Missouri Bone & Joint and Dr. Wittgren. My pain is gone!"
