The subject for March:
Joint Replacement Surgery
Thousands of Americans are back on their feet and enjoying life following joint replacement surgery which has been recognized as a miracle of modern surgery. Replacing a hip or knee joint is considered by experts to be the best method of handling arthritis in the joint.
The Saint Vincent Health Insights reports for March will air Monday through Friday, March 23-27 and will take a closer look at Joint Replacement surgery.
Saint Vincent Orthopedic Surgeons will provide information on the latest advancements in joint replacement surgery. Hip Resurfacing is an alternative to total hip replacement for younger, active patients. New to orthopedic surgeons are gender specific knee replacement implants which provide for a better fit and more natural movement because the implant closely matches the shape and size of a woman’s knee.
