PREFACE
The secret of how to prevent hip surgery is now in your hands.
We needed to write a second edition of Heal Your Hips because there is so much new information that we wanted to share with you. The entire landscape of how we view and treat hips has changed dramatically since Heal Your Hips was first published in 1999. This new book on hips will bring you the updated details as well as information about the latest orthopedic breakthroughs that weren t even on our radar back then.
In 2003, a doctor in Switzerland coined the phrase FAI (femoroacetabular impingement), and this has become the hottest topic in orthopedics today. Although we mentioned labral tears in our first book, that subject has greatly expanded and is closely connected with FAI. We were the pioneers in offering the lay public an alternative to total hip surgery if they were candidates for hip arthroscopy. Today, arthroscopic hip surgeries now flourish for an entire middle ground of hip problems: FAI and torn labrums. And we hope that early detection of FAI and arthroscopic correction of the bony anatomy may prevent the need for hip implant surgery later in life.
What hasn t changed, however, is our original mission statement. We still wanted to convert what we both do every day into something you can walk away with, which is now in your hands. As you read this book, we want you to feel as if you ve come into an examining room with me and entered a pool with Lynda Huey, and that the experience gives you a strong sense of certainty that we are going to help you get through whatever hip condition you might have.
People have told us that between my analogies and metaphors and Lynda s clear, concise writing, we are able to help our readers see pictures with our words. They have said that we make difficult orthopedic concepts easily understood, and we do it better than anyone else. We ve become the team you can trust. We are your second opinion.
When we wrote the first hip book, the Internet barely existed. What we have seen is an explosion of information and a shrinking of the world. I have seen thousands of patients since that book came out, many of whom read the book, got on an airplane, and came to see me in my office and came to see Lynda Huey in her pool. It was always interesting to me to hear things like this from my patients: I m a skeptical person and I didn t believe how miraculous the water exercises could be in truly changing my life. The patients either prevented surgery with the pool program, or, if it turned out they had to have surgery, they had regained muscle strength and joint flexibility so that the surgery was much easier to go through.
I think our first book was so successful because we didn t just write a book. We held our readers hands as we explained difficult concepts and helped them understand what was happening to their hips.
Now, in this new book, we re taking it to the next level with KlapperVision . You won t find another book that uses the visual of an orange cut in half to describe the normal angle of the hip socket, but that s KlapperVision. The verbal animation of KlapperVision combines my love of art and medicine as I teach. I relish the opportunity I have on the radio with ESPN, on television with Fox Sports, and in this book to explain intricate, scientific matters in understandable ways by using household and daily-life images and relating them to the anatomical structures we discuss. That s my legacy.
I had many wild ideas in 1999 that I envisioned for the future. We included text boxes in our first book that featured stem cell and other injections into joints, as well as genetic engineering. Those things have come to pass and we discuss them in this second book. Many of these treatments are still in their infancy of research. I thought space-age technology would not exist in my lifetime, but now it s clear that this futuristic medicine is going to be here soon. So in this new book we will once again look at where I think the future of medicine will go next. Add what we know now to the new treatments to come, and we may make the need for artificial joints obsolete.
And yet Lynda and I have our feet firmly rooted in basic knowledge: I as a marble stone carver and Lynda as the authority on water rehabilitation. It doesn t get more basic on planet Earth than rock and water. Lynda grasps the body as a complex machine that must move in order to heal well. My expertise is below the skin. I have done about five hundred surgeries a year over the past twenty-five years. I have learned so much from my patients that my own truths have developed, and I no longer merely accept the dogma I learned in medical school. At the time of this writing, I have opened up over twelve thousand people for surgery. The sheer magnitude of that number allows me to take a history from a patient, do a physical exam, look at his or her studies (X-rays, MRIs, CT scans), and as I touch the patient s skin, I am literally able to see through it to the anatomy that lies below. Many a student or resident who has come to operate with me has asked, Dr. Klapper, why did you put your surgical instrument here and not there? My response is, Because I know that the artery and the nerve are behind that bone. And they say, I don t see that. And I say, Someday you will.
