Gregory Galano, MD

Meet Joseph, a patient of mine who underwent an FAI arthroscopic procedure to correct his CAM and PINCER lesion as well as subsequent labral tear: "Leading up to a powerlifting competition in 2018, I realized a pinching sensation located in the front of my hip getting into the bottom of the squat. I was never quite sure why my right foot always externally rotated after reaching ninety degrees of hip flexion. After training for years in the sport these symptoms became progres...sively worse to the point where I could not even perform a bodyweight squat without pain symptoms. After seven years I believed that my powerlifting career was over. After meeting with Dr. Galano he reassured me that an FAI arthroscopic procedure could correct the CAM and PINCER lesion and subsequent damage to the articular cartilage. I accepted this and underwent a procedure in Fall 2018. The PT was extensive for the next couple of months but I was up and moving about in a relatively short time post-op. Strengthening exercises that engage the muscle of the LPHC, core and posterior chain were essential for re-establishing normal AROM throughout my recovery. The FAI arthroscopic procedure gave me a second chance at my sport and allowed to continue working as a personal trainer and physical education teacher pain free. Surgeons like Dr. Galano are refacing the image of what hip surgery looks like through the usage of revolutionary minimally invasive arthroscopic technology. Every squat I take moving forward was built upon the gifted hands Dr. Galano and I am forever grateful." . . https://www.gregorygalanomd.com/testimonials/ . #FAIarthroscopicprocedure #PatientTestimonial #Ortho #NYC #athlete #HipSurgery #labraltear #SportsMedicine See more
