Dr. Charles A. Hope II
Hip & Knee Surgeon
Hip Replacement
A surgical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant, that is, a hip prosthesis.
Using anterior hip surgery, Dr. Hope can approach the hip joint from the front. This allows him to replace the hip without detaching the pelvic or femoral muscles. Because the gluteal muscles are not disturbed during surgery, recovery time is shortened and pain is minimized.
It can be performed as a total replacement or a hemi replacement.

Dr.Hope and his PA are excellent. My total hip replacement went exactly as described. They explain situations in clear and compassionate detail. Surgery and recovery went exactly as predicted. They are sticklers for preventing infection and other complications and their track record is outstanding. Dr, Hope is honest, caring, and correct in diagnosis and approach. He listens to patients. His reputation as a skilled surgeon and a caring MD is well-deserved. My quality of life has been restored.Mark Silverman, Hilton Head Island ()
Dr. Hope replaced my left knee in 2016 and the outcome has been outstanding! He utilizes a vitamin regimin pre-op which helps healing. After extensive research, I learned he was highly recommended by numerous healthcare professionals, including physicians. While he affords you all the time you need to understand the procedure and have questions answered, when it comes to the surgery, he's no nonsense. He surrounds himself with select staff and uses the latest equipment. Excellent!!!Sonny Dixon, Savannah ()

I very happy I had dr hope as my dr he is great !!Emeral Rawls, Mt.Vernon ()
Dr. Hope performed minimally-invasive hip replacement for me on both hips in separate surgeries. Having had 20+ surgeries for other conditions,I was pretty aware of both good and bad surgical practices. I could not have been more pleased with both surgeries. Not only was every member of Dr. Hope's team consistently professional, they were genuinely interested in my progress and comfort. Of course, it was Dr. Hope's competence that was life-changing for me. I have nothing but accolades for him.SConnie E. Mabry, Statesboro ()
