Introduction

Patient/Medical Philosophy:
Dr. Drucker's philosophy on treating patients with arthritis is that before considering surgery all patients should try a comprehensive approach to non-surgical treatment. Those who fail to find success with conservative treatment and elect to have surgery are thoroughly evaluated with respect to general health, lifestyle, living situation and occupation before the doctor and patient choose the appropriate surgery. Dr. Drucker's surgical expertise includes minimally invasive surgical techniques (MIS), Hip Resurfacing, revision total joint replacement and dealing with the complications of total joint replacement such as loosening, infection, dislocations and fractures.
