Partial knee replacement : View a live operation

 

Through our partnership with OR-live.com, the leaders in healthcare webcasting, we are able to provide access to their archive of live operations, broadcast from leading hospitals in the USA.

 

We feature a recording of a live webcast of a computer-assisted, partial knee replacement , performed by orthopaedic surgeons at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, USA. Computer-assisted, partial knee replacement makes it easier for orthopaedic surgeons to replace diseased sections of the knee without performing a total knee replacement.

 

Partial knee replacement surgery enables arthritis-stricken single compartments of a knee to be replaced without the patient having to endure a long surgery and recovery involved with a total knee replacement. The post-surgical recovery time for computer-assisted, partial knee replacement is about half the time of recovery for a total knee replacement--three weeks, instead of the normal six weeks.

 

You will need to download and install RealPlayer Basic or RealPlayer Plus to view the webcasts.
