For years, I had seen Dr. Lyle Micheli at Childrens Sports Medicine in Boston, for all my running injuries up until my last injury when I was 35yo. When I tore my hip labrum in September 2016, I had no idea who to call now that I’m 45yo.
After seeking the opinion from a few sports surgeons in Boston that I know and trust, all roads led to Dr. Wertz. In March of this year, Dr. Wertz, repaired my right hip labrum and I was back running, cycling, and cross training mid-July. Dr. Wertz is known for and has a very strict post op rehab protocol, which I found aggravating because I was feeling better and he declined my request to lighten up on the restrictions. If you are serious about getting back to running, as I was, I would highly recommend Dr. Wertz without any hesitation and I strongly recommend following his strict protocol week by week. Good luck!
