Testimonials

I was in physical therapy for just three days and walking again in no time, bearing full weight on my fractured hip. Given I’m almost 90 years old, isn’t this amazing?
Charlotte H., patient of Dr. Antonio Arazoza

The PC.C.P appeals to me because I find it gives better patient results than the sliding hip screw. With the PC.C.P, the hip fracture heals without fracture collapse or loss of fracture alignment. The procedure is fast and there is less intra-operative blood loss. These patients have less pain after surgery and obtain a quicker return to function.
Dr. Edward C.Yang M.D., Director of Orthopaedic Surgery, Elmhurst Hospital, N.Y.
