For years, Maria Diaz refused to let hip pain slow her down. She kept pushing through the discomfort, adjusting her daily routine and telling herself it was just part of getting older. But when she could no longer get up from the floor after playing with her granddaughter, she knew it was time to seek help.

Diagnosed with severe, bone-on-bone hip osteoarthritis, Maria turned to Dr. Alexander van der Ven, orthopedic surgeon at Baptist Health Orthopedic Care, for hip replacement surgery. Within days, she was walking with confidence, and just weeks later she was back to traveling, staying active and making unforgettable memories with her family including a trip to Disney World.

Today, Maria is enjoying the active retirement she always envisioned, proving that chronic joint pain doesn't have to define your life.

The result? Greater precision, increased efficiency, and shorter operating times for patients.
