After years of restrictive groin pain caused by osteoporosis, a sudden fall on concrete meant that Mary’s hip pain became unmanageable and eventually resulted in both hips being replaced at The Horder Centre.
Mary explains: “I had previously worked with Mr Hugh Apthorp at my local Hastings hospital so knew of his expertise in hip replacement surgery. My mother had also undergone surgery at The Horder Centre and had an excellent experience so naturally I requested a referral straight away from my GP.
