As an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Loffredo is trained in and can offer the full range of joint replacement surgeries but has strong expertise in anterior hip replacement surgery. During surgery, he accesses the hip joint through the front of the hip rather than the back (as in traditional approaches). So what does this mean for patients? A smaller incision, reduced chance of hip dislocation and infection and quicker recovery times compared to the traditional approach.
Dr. Loffredo was born and raised in Lockport, NY and is the only physician in Batavia to offer this approach.
