Meet Sean Ralph: Anterior Hip Replacement

Staying In The Game.

"As my arthritis pain got worse, I knew I would need a hip replacement. Chester County Hospital came highly recommended, and while it's pretty far from where I live, the distance didn't hold me back. My anterior hip replacement was less invasive and exceeded my expectations. My care team got me back to my youth team and in motion faster than I ever imagined. Less pain, faster recovery? That's what I call a win-win."
