The clinical implications of elevated blood metal ion concentrations in asymptomatic patients with MoM hip resurfacings: a cohort study

Testimonials
Early in 2011 I realized that the pain in my left hip was not going to go away if I didn’t get some professional  help.  I had been trying to cope with a hip that was progressively causing more problems for about 2 years, and nothing I tried on my own seemed to help.  I finally told my primary care doctor about the pain and he suggested that I see Dr Justin LaReau with Hinsdale Orthopedics to see what was wrong.  An exam and a couple of  xrays showed that I had lost the cushion in the hip j…
68 Year Old Male Left & Right Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty
Dr. LaReau is a very skilled, dedicated, compassionate and caring Orthopedic surgeon.  Because of my mis-diagnosis, I was given a cortisone shot.  Since they were treating a non existing problem, it did no good.  After seeing another Orthopedic surgeon, I was diagnosed in need of a complete hip replacement.  However, because of the cortisone shot, the surgeon would not operate until 6 months after the shot was administered.  During the six months the pain increased steadily.  My pain becam…
83 Year Old Female Right Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty
It’s difficult to find the word to express my appreciation and gratitude to Dr. Justin LaReau and his staff.  I had been in pain for over ten years with both knees, had knee replacement five years ago that failed and brought me even worse pain.  I came to Hinsdale Orthopaedics after a recommendation and met with Dr. LaReau.  He felt he could help me.  After Dr. LaReau performed revision surgery I have been pain free, so much so that I had him replace my other knee after only eights months. …
59 Year Old Female Right Total Knee Arthroscopy and Left Total Knee Arthoplasty Revision
My name is Josie and I would like to tell everyone how great Dr. LaReau is.  When I went to see Dr. LaReau I was in a lot of pain with both of my knees.  Dr. LaReau recommended knee replacements.  At that time I cried, Dr. LaReau had so much compassion and understanding.  He explained very carefully how replacements look and work.  It has been almost two years and I had both my knees completed three months apart.  They are straight, I am experiencing no pain and I am back to doing things I…
67 Year Old Right and Left Total Knee Arthroplasty
Dr. LaReau gave my life back to me when he performed the surgery to partially replace my knee.  Before the surgery, it was difficult for me to walk any distance without severe pain.  Now, thanks to Dr. LaReau, I am living my life normally once again.  From my first visit to his office to my postoperative visits, he and his staff have been wonderful.  They have been there to answer any questions and offer their support through the whole process and I can’t thank them enough.
68 Year Old Female Unicompartmental Arthroplasty Of The Right Knee
Being told that you need to have a major surgery is not what I wanted to ever hear in my lifetime.  Being told that the top surgeon in Wisconsin couldn’t do the procedure just added to my anxiety.  I was nervous about having the surgery, about what would follow and about meeting Dr. LaReau.  I am a shy person and the idea of a complete stranger operating on me was a very scary thing. In reality Dr. LaReau made me feel comfortable from the first time I  met him.  I will never forget that firs…
17 Year Old Female Right Hip Periacetabular Osteotomy
“Dr. LaReau was the fifth Chicago-area orthopaedic surgeon I consulted about my hip pain which was caused by hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis. His demeanor and confidence immediately put me at ease. He and his assistant intently listened to my story and concerns. He took the time to answer all of my questions and personally called me in response to some additional questions I emailed to his assistant. I didn’t consult with any more surgeons after meeting with Dr. LaReau; I knew that he was the o…
39 Year Old Female Right and Left Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty
At age 70, after habitually walking four or more miles each day for many years, I experienced such severe difficulty in mobility that I had to rely on a cane and eventually a walker for even limited room to room movements. Dr. LaReau was highly recommended to me by a teacher colleague of my wife, based on the success Dr. LaReau demonstrated in restoring the full mobility of that colleague’s 87-year-old mother. It is now two weeks since Dr. LaReau completed the second of my two hip replac…
Mike and Judy Carroll, Glen Ellyn, Illinois
Hello, my name is James C.  I had a horrific accident in 2011 and I was told that I would never walk again.  As part of my injuries my right leg was bonded straight.  I had an evaluation with Dr. LaReau about correcting this issue.  A decision was made to install a “Hinge Knee”.  The procedure went fantastic!  Within weeks after the procedure I was walking again and I was told by other surgeons that I would never walk again.  Dr. LaReau and Gretchen are fantastic to deal with! They are prompt…
33 Year Old Male Right Total Knee Arthroplasty
I am so pleased to have met Dr LaReau. He has given me my life back. I had been in such pain and unable to walk unassisted for at least a couple of years because a prior knee replacement loosened and broke due to a series of issues. I now have my new knee and it is an amazing piece of equipment.  Though still working on rehab, I’m able to walk pain free and virtually unassisted.  I will be able to walk up and down stairs properly for the first time in 10 years. My progress is amazing to me afte…
