Surfing.Skiing.Baseball.Golf."Workhard,playhard,"isRandyIchihana'smotto. He likes to
spend all his free time playing sports. But in his early fifties, Randy developed debilitating hip pain.
When medication and cortisone shots stopped working, he consulted Marin General Hospital joint
replacement experts. They recommended an anterior hip replacement. To prepare, Randy took Marin
General Hospital's free joint replacement class, where he learned about the mobility advantages and
faster recovery that anterior hip surgery can provide. Randy had his surgery in the morning and was
back on his feet that evening. He went home the next day. A week later, he was back at work, able to sit,
drive, and walk without hip pain. Randy has since resumed his active lifestyle and is busy conquering
the Marin Headlands, one hill at a time.
