Anterior Hip Replacement Seminar
Blue Springs, Mo.— Many people suffering with arthritis, hip pain and limited hip movement find relief through hip replacement. However, after traditional hip replacement procedures patients are often restricted to limited hip movements for six to eight weeks after surgery. Now a new minimally invasive procedure, anterior hip replacement, is gaining popularity and allowing patients to recover and return to normal activities much faster.
The Joint and Spine Institute at St. Mary’s Medical Center will host a free anterior hip replacement seminar on Thursday, November 8, 5:30-7 p.m., in St. Mary’s Education Center located at 201 NW R.D. Mize Road,
Blue Springs, Mo.
Robert F. Paul, DO, with Orthopedic Surgeons, Inc., will share information on the advantages of anterior hip replacement and who may be a good candidate. Dr. Paul earned his medical degree at the University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine where he also completed his residency. He is board-certified in orthopedic surgery.
This event is free, but space is limited. Please register by 816-228-3335.
