Biography
Dr. Thomas Gross leads the nation in hip resurfacing. He began performing metal-on-metal total hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) in 1999. With the retirement of Dr. Harlan Amstutz, he now has the longest track record of performing this operation in the United States. He has performed over 3500 HRA, which is the fourth largest series in the world.
Dr. Gross’ published track record is one of the best in the world. In unselected patient series of hip resurfacing, he has published 10-year implant survivorship of 93% with the Corin Hybrid system, 97% 10-year implant survivorship with the Biomet Hybrid system, and most recently 98% 8-year survivorship with the uncemented Biomet system in peer reviewed scientific journals.
