Halifax Health will present a live online same day partial knee
replacement surgery on Jun 30th at 7:00pm EDT. Richard Rhodes, MD, a
surgeon with Atlantic Orthopedics, will perform the procedure using the
Oxford® implant on OR-Live.com
The Oxford is the only fully-mobile bearing partial knee system available in the United States. It can offer a more natural motion, more flexibility, less pain and a higher success rate for long-term results. These implants are made of metal and plastic materials to create a smoothly functioning joint.
"Patients may be back to work in as little as two weeks as opposed to more than a month with other devices," said Rhodes. "And there are no restrictions on activity following the brief recovery period. It is truly a prosthetic for today's active society."
