Dr. Thomas A. Einhorn's Specialties

Unlike osteoarthritis, Avascular Necrosis of the Hip tends to affect a young population from 20 to 60 years of age, for whom a total hip replacement is a sub-optimal solution.

Until very recently, the most common treatment of Avascular Necrosis of the femoral head has been total hip replacement, which is often a sub-optimal solution for patients under 50 years of age due to possible activity restrictions and the fact that a synthetic hip joint will wear out with time. Dr. Einhorn offers young patients a viable, safe alternative to hip replacement surgery with adult stem cell orthopaedic surgery.
