Business ProfileforOrthoCincy Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine

Unexpectedly, I needed a right hip replacement. Ambulance service was called and I was transported to ***** Health-The ****** Hospital, Kenwood. I had surgery on 09/13/21 completed by Dr. S********. The year before, 11/24/20, I had a left hip replacement completed by Dr. **, University of Cincinnati. I had the surgery as stated above and released on 11/25/20. Had physical therapy when released at my home. For the right hip replacement, there were problems with my right hip/thigh. I wasn't released the next day, and I have had difficulties then to the present, 2024. Even after numberless office visits with Dr. S********, my pain in my right hip/thigh persisted. He would prescribed pain medicine, which did help. But, according to him and the numberless X-rays, nothing was done. Eventually, I had a second opinion completed with Dr. **, **, who had completed my left hip replacement. I had my right hip replaced by Dr. **, 6/06/23, due to at first, the hip replacement equipment was defective. After that surgery, I still had pain in my hip/thigh. I was scheduled for a third right hip replacement on 01/23/24. On 01/23/24, after surgery, I found out I didn't have a right hip replacement for the third time. Dr. ** realized I had a right femur fracture and a bacteria was discovered. A biopsy was conducted, a small sample of tissue taken from my body for examination, to determine if there was an infection, which there was. I was prescribed the correct antibiotics. Shortly after taking the pills, my pain in my hip/thigh lessen. I feel all of this that I went through and still is, 2024, related back to my right hip replacement on 09/13/21. I have read several reports on how "doctors" do not listen to Black females. In this case, this was definitely the case. I can remember being at ** Emergency Department due to my legs being extremely swollen. If I had a femur fracture then, before having my right hip replacement, it should have been discovered in 2021.
