Presentation On Knee Replacement
Susquehanna, PA – Barnes-Kasson Health Center is pleased to present a free seminar on advancements in total knee replacement, including minimally-invasive techniques, presented by board certified orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Mogerman of the Mogerman Jason Orthopaedic Institute. “This seminar is for anyone who has arthritis in their knee and wants to learn about the disease and the newest treatment options available to them”, says Dr. Mogerman. The free presentation will be held December 11, at the Barnes-Kasson Health Center, 400 Turnpike Street at 12:00 p.m.
Minimally invasive joint replacement is, as Dr. Mogerman explains, an “evolution more than a revolution” in joint replacement. "Patients can benefit tremendously from this mini-incision surgery. A smaller incision means less trauma to soft tissue--that means there's less post-operative pain and a faster return to physical activity. It gets them back on their feet much more quickly."
For more information or to register, call: (570) 853–3136, Ext. 265 or 800–323–2051, Ext. 265.
