Some issues Dr. Andrew Glen Yun, MD can help you with:

Hip Replacement

Hip replacement is a surgical procedure to replace parts of the hip joint that are damaged by disease or injury. It is most often done to treat arthritis, a common condition that causes stiffness and pain in the joints. Surgery is used only after other, less invasive treatments have failed to work.

The type of hip replacement patients receive is based on their age and the extent of damage to their hip. The hip joint has two parts: the femoral head, or hip ball, and the acetabulum, or hip socket. The hip ball is located on the upper end of the femur (thigh bone), and the hip socket is part of the pelvis. Depending on whether one or both parts require replacement, patients may need one of the following procedures:

  • Partial hip replacement, which is generally recommended in the case of hip fractures or other hip injuries. If a patient is having a partial hip replacement, only the hip ball will be replaced.
  • Total hip replacement, which is often used to treat the hip joint when it has become damaged due to arthritis. Both the hip socket and hip ball are replaced.
  • Hip resurfacing, which is usually performed for younger patients. A hip resurfacing procedure reshapes the hip ball and only replaces its surface. This preserves more bone and makes future surgeries easier. If a patient is having a partial hip resurfacing, only the hip ball is resurfaced and replaced. If a patient is having a total hip resurfacing, the hip socket will be replaced as well.

During hip replacement surgery, an incision is made along the side of the hip. The surgeon may access the joint directly through this incision, or by using small tools and a lighted tube called an arthroscope to see and treat the joint. The diseased tissue is removed, and the bones are smoothed out and fitted with metal ends. The metal pieces may be cemented in place, or they may have a porous structure that encourages bone to grow into them and hold them securely. A smooth plastic cushion is placed between the two bones to replace the cartilage and allow the joint to move freely.

Hip replacement surgery takes one to two hours, and afterwards patients may stay in the hospital for several days. When patients go home, they will have to use a cane, walker, or crutches at first. Patients will likely have physical therapy to improve their ability to move with their new hip. After the first few weeks, light exercise such as bike riding or swimming will help them heal, but certain actions, such as climbing stairs or bending over at the waist, may be difficult at first. It will take several weeks before they can drive or return to work. Full recovery may take six to 12 months.

Dr Andrew Yun replaced my hip two years ago. When I had a concern regarding my same hip recently I made an appointment to see him. The scheduler was able to fit me in within two days. Dr Yun was so empathetic to my concerns! He answered all my questions in a clear, understandable manner. I felt extremely confident and reassured in his responses to my many questions. He took a great deal of time and patience with me in the exam room. My husband had his knee replaced by Dr Yun one year ago and had a similar experience. I highly recommend him to anyone who requires hip or knee replacement. He's the best!!!

I'd had a bad knee for close to 30 years before finally choosing Dr. Yun as my surgeon. During that time, I saw many doctors, but never quite trusted anyone to work on my knee. I had researched Dr. Yun pretty thoroughly and knew he was among the finest surgeons anywhere in the world which is why I chose him. What I didn't anticipate was how much I would come to like him. He goes quickly, he's opinionated (as he should be), and he's all business. But he combines those qualities with kindness, encouragement, and warmth. I couldn't have have a better surgeon than Dr. Yun.

I was highly recommended to see Dr. Yun regarding my need to have a LEFT knee replacement soon. Several close friends have had replacements done by Dr. Yun, with very good results. I am hoping my recovery time will be less than I am currently experiencing with my right knee replacement that was done last November 2022, as I am still having pain and swelling in that knee after several hundred yards of walking, that still takes days to recover from. Dr. Yun explained that the right knee swelling is not uncommon, and that the right knee replacement was done properly.

Dr Yun is the Best. His office and staff run his practice very efficiently, well organized, able to reach staff for questions within the same day. All the procedures n handbook given to the patient are well planned, concise and the language used is easy to understand for a layperson. Dr Yun is exceptional the way his office is managed and implemented. I highly recommend him to my friends n colleagues. Thank you Dr.Yun for the best knee replacement surgery. The wound is healing well and my friends are all impressed how clean and straight the cut looked.

The entire staff - from front desk to physician assistants, to scheduling, etc. - was not only pleasant but also so thorough that I felt by the time I saw Dr. Yun, he was fully up to speed on my situation. I was also impressed that he took the time to return later to respond to a question I'd forgotten to ask. I remember telling him that I believe a patient's psychological state is as important as their physical when it comes to a healing and a successful outcome to treatment and that he made me feel confident I was in good hands with him and his team.

I saw Dr Yun for an initial consultation for a hip replacement and I can honestly say I have never had a better office visit! From the the pre-visit information (including a video of what the office visit would entail) to the methodical manner I was moved from intake to XRay to pre-consultation to the meeting with Dr Yun, each step was perfectly choreographed. And each person I met with was pleasant and well-informed. It was a wonderful experience and I am convinced this is the right place for my hip replacement.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Yun. He's excellent in every sense of the word. The surgery went so well that I never had much pain afterwards. Just Tylenol and anti inflammatory medicine. My pain level was zero to one. It's been two months and my scar is almost healed. He's a brilliant, compassionate and a great communicator. I've already recommended him to 8 people. The nurses at Providence were also excellent and surprisingly the food was delicious. EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT!!

Dr. Yun is a fine doctor who cares about his patients. I feel he knows and cares about me. He is a hip expert. He told me the truth about my situation and what I should do. Physical therapy is what he recommended. I trust him. He replaced both my hips. I used a different doctor for my knee replacement because his office was closer to my home. I regretted it. Awful after care. Dr. Yun's after care is EXCELLENT. Will always be grateful to Dr. Yun and his fine, kind, knowledgeable staff.

Had an unusually long recovery and still in recovery 17 months since operation which is disheartening and painful at times. Not expection this to happen has been my horrible reality. That said the many visits I've had since the operation have been thorough and consistent and a matter of time I believe which is always a hard pill to swallow. But the doctor has been patient and always seems to do a thorough job of reviewing where I am and that the pain and discomfort will stop.

This was my first time visiting this doctor. Him and his staff were very helpful. They explained to me my knee condition and why my knee is always hurting. Best part of my visit they explained to me what to expect before, during, and after my knee replacement surgery. They also, gave me a notebook to learn more knee replacement and if I had any questions I could call and they would do their best to answer any questions I may have.
