WAUKESHA, WI- ProHealth Care will broadcast a surgery live via the
Internet during a webcast at 10 a.m., Wednesday, May 17. The surgery
will be a total knee replacement procedure at Oconomowoc Memorial
Hospital. This is ProHealth Care's first surgical webcast and it will
kickoff a series of live surgeries ProHealth Care is planning
throughout 2006.
The knee is the largest, strongest and heaviest joint in the body and
carries almost half of the body's weight. If arthritis, injury or
wear-and-tear wears away the cartilage in the knee, total knee
replacement often becomes necessary to relieve pain and resume regular
activities
Orthopedic surgeon, Timothy Schultz, MD, will perform the procedure
while T. Scott Stanwyck, MD, orthopedic surgeon, serves as moderator to
explain the procedure and answer questions that viewers e-mail.
