Hoping for a pain-free new year? Join ProOrtho’s Dr. Robin Fuchs, a Kirkland orthopedic surgeon, for a seminar on Outpatient Hip and Knee Replacement Surgery. Held at ProOrtho’s Kirkland clinic on January 18th at 7 PM, the talk will highlight new minimally invasive techniques that allow for outpatient surgery and rapid rehabilitation.

In the United States, 900,000 hip and knee replacement surgeries are performed every year, replacing damaged cartilage with metal or plastic components to minimize pain from arthritis. Usually, this requires patients to spend up to five nights recovering in a hospital. However, with advances in minimally invasive techniques, targeted anesthesia, rehabilitative protocol, and computer navigation, this type of surgery has become possible on an outpatient basis. Incisions are smaller, leading to less tissue damage, and pain can now be better controlled — patients are able to return home earlier and potentially have fewer complications, improved outcomes, and increased satisfaction overall.

ProOrtho has developed a screening system to help determine if patients are good candidates for outpatient knee or hip replacement surgery. To ensure that the overall experience is as easy and satisfying as possible for each person, we place an eligible patient in a rapid rehab protocol. By meeting with a physical therapist prior to surgery, patients and their families know what to expect upon returning home.

Join Dr. Fuchs, a specialist in minimally invasive surgery, to learn more about outpatient joint replacement surgery, its benefits, and whether it might be the right option for you.

Space at the event is limited. RSVP now at (425) 216-7017 or ProOrthoFeedback@Proliancesurgeons.com.

The event will be held at:

12911 120th Ave NE, Ste H210,
Kirkland, WA 98034
