The Anterior Approcach: Richie’s 2nd Hip Replacement with Healthcare Abroad

Richie Power returned to Denia in Novmber for his second hip replacement with Healthcare Abroad this year. In February 2024 Richie made the journey from Youghal in Cork to Denia for surgery on his right hip with Healthcare Abroad. Happy with the results, Richie chose Healthcare Abroad for a second time and underwent surgery in November on his left hip in HCB Denia. Dr. Lucas Kleijn performed the operation using the anterior approach method, known for faster healing and increased range of motion after surgery.
