Baltimore, MD- Sinai Hospital will host a live webcast featuring a
Minimally Invasive Total Hip with Large Metal-on-Metal Articulation on
December 7, 2004 at 6:00pm (EST) The Procedure will be performed by Dr.
Barry Waldman, Director, Center for Joint Preservation and Replacement,
and moderated by Dr. Sridhar Durbhakula both from the Rubin Institute
for advanced Orthopaedics. This minimally invasive joint arthroplasty
offers many benefits to the patient, including a smaller incision, less
pain and less recovery time. A large head metal-on-metal articulation
will assist the surgeon with providing a very stable joint while
addressing the demand for a strong, less wear articulation. The surgery
is performed to replace a degenerative hip joint that has become worn
out as a result of arthritis, causing the patient intolerable pain.
Orthopaedics: Stryker Orthopaedics will sponsor a live webcast of a
total knee replacement procedure featuring the new Triathlon Knee
System, direct from the Advances in Surgical Technology meeting in New
York City on December 3, 2004 from 1:00 – 1:45PM EST. This webcast
event is an opportunity for surgeons to gain a practical understanding
of how the Triathlon Knee System was designed for natural knee motion.
The efficiency, flexibility and orthonomic design of Triathlon's new
instrumentation will be highlighted during the procedure. The total
knee procedure will feature a cruciate retaining TKA performed by Kirby
D. Hitt, MD, Scott & White Memorial Hospital, Temple, TX. Steven F.
Harwin, MD, FACS, Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, NY, will
moderate the procedure from the Advances in Surgical Technology meeting
in NYC. The Triathlon Knee System incorporates features designed to
provide benefits to surgeons, OR staff and patients.
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,
Ph.D.
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
