New York Times – Future of Joint Replacement
Was thrilled to discuss my research with John Hanc from the @nytimes regarding projections of the number of total joint replacements in the United States in the next decade.
Treating Infection in Total Joint Replacement
Here, we were referred a woman with a bad problem that had to be treated. She had an infection of her knee replacement. Unfortunately, some patients have infection after knee replacement.
What is Revision Joint Replacement Surgery?
“Revision Joint Replacement” means that someone has already had a joint replacement and now it must be redone or revised for one of a variety of reasons.
Hip and Knee Fellowship Training
Fellowship training as a hip and knee specialist is a year after finishing residency, dedicated entirely to learning how to perform hip and knee replacements. From the straightforward classic techniques, to the modern robotic, custom, or complex revision, we saw it all.
What is Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement Surgery?
Robotic-assisted joint replacement means that your surgeon will use a machine, called a robot that incorporates preoperative imaging (x-ray or CT) and/or data gathered during the surgery.
What is Direct Anterior Total Hip Replacement?
Hip replacement is considered for folks with advanced hip arthritis. There are different ways to perform this surgery, one of which is called “Anterior Hip Replacement”.
What Olympian had this hip surgery?
This implant is known as a hip resurfacing, an implant typically reserved for young active males, which has fallen out of favor since the problems with “metal-on-metal” hips were identified. However, some surgeons will still use this implant for some patients.
