Dr. Hale helps patients who need:
- anterior hip replacement, as well as traditional posterior total hip surgery

With anterior hip replacement surgery, the surgeon operates on the hip from the front instead of the side or rear of the joint. This technique allows patients to recover and return to activities and work quickly.
Dr. Hale also performs the traditional posterior approach to hip replacement for those patients who prefer it, or whose needs are better suited to it.
He has experience with a variety of hip, knee, and trauma injuries and conditions. Dr. Hale enjoys helping people of all ages regain their health and ability to engage in their favorite sports or recreational pursuits, or return to work.
