As reported in the Australian Financial Review in 2024, hip osteoarthritis often becomes symptomatic in otherwise active people in their middle aged years. Dr Markham offers his considerable experience in assisting patients, and offers hip replacement surgery when necessary. He has expertise in a choice of approaches and prostheses to suit each patient’s needs.
