Orthopaedics: St. Cloud
Hospital in St. Cloud, MN will webcast its first Dual Incision
Minimally Invasive Hip Surgery with the Stryker Navigation system on
November 16, 2004, at 4:30pm EST. Dr. Joseph P. Nessler, St. Cloud
Orthopedic Associates, will perform the surgery. Dr. Frank R. Kolisek,
Assistant Clinical Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery, Indiana University
School of Medicine, will moderate the procedure. The combination of a
dual incision minimally invasive procedure with the electronic imaging
of navigation is redefining the world of total hip replacement. A
surgical procedure is successful when a surgeon achieves the right
combination of implant, technique and patient. The dual incision
approach in this procedure is not only muscle sparing, but also
minimizes trauma to soft tissue and may allow patients to rehabilitate
faster. Dr. Kolisek will help participating surgeons better understand
patient selection criteria for minimally invasive procedures and how
they should approach minimally invasive surgery as opposed to
traditional hip replacement surgery.
Orthopaedics: Live Debate: "Wear Matters" An Orthopaedic Webinar
Brought to you by your Educational Partner, Stryker Orthopaedics. This
a live program designed to help orthopaedic surgeons better understand
contemporary bearings technologies in total hip and knee replacements.
Leading surgeons and scientists will be on hand to help orthopaedic
surgeons improve their understanding of patient selection issues with
respect to enhanced polyethylene, metal-on-metal and ceramic-on-ceramic
technologies. Join our distinguished faculty for this live debate at
4:30 pm EDT featuring Jim, D'Antonio, MD, William Hozack, MD, Steven
Kurtz, Ph.D. The virtual seminar will be moderated by Michael Manely,

Spine Surgery: See Surgeons Perform A Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody
Fusion Procedure in Live Webcast at 3:00 pm EST (19:00 UTC). Back pain
may result from the degenerative changes that occur to the lumbar spine
as people age or from a traumatic injury. It is a common reason why the
average person may take a day off work or avoid physical activity.
Surgeons at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital are now performing
an innovative spinal fusion to eliminate the debilitating discomfort
for back pain suffers. View Webcast
Orthopaedics: One of the most common reasons for shoulder pain in
people over 40 is a tear of the rotator cuff. In young patients, this
may occur from a traumatic injury or overuse as in the case of
professional athletes. The rotator cuff is made up of the shoulder
muscles and tendons that allow a person to reach overhead and perform
activities like swimming or swinging a golf club. Peter Barnett, MD is
one of only a few physicians in Connecticut trained to perform an
arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. This innovative minimally invasive
technique reduces pain and offers faster recovery than traditional
surgery. Dr. Barnett will perform the procedure during a live webcast
on October 14, 2004, at 6:00 pm EDT from Hartford Hospital. View Webcast
Orthopaedics: Bone Conserving Humeral Resurfacing Head. Watch this live
minimally invasive replacement implant surgery performed by David
Bailie, M.D. Chairman, Orthopaedic Surgery, Scottsdale Healthcare at 8
am MST (11 am EDT / 8 am PDT / 1500 UTC). Unlike a total shoulder
implant, this implant is designed to cap only the top of the humerus.
The implant requires less bone and cartilage removal, which makes it
much more conservative than total joint implants. The implant's design
allows patients to potentially recover more quickly and with less pain,
and is ideal for the younger or active older patient.
