Roy Prange was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in 1996 – as the cartilage cushion between the bones in his hip joints began to break down.
….The Madison attorney, now 61, eventually had both hips replaced the first in 2001 and the second in 2002, at the University of Wisconsin Hospital.
These days, he has a lot of company. In the few years since Prange got his hips replaced, the surgeries to repair these joints have become increasingly popular in the Madison area.
