Dear Colleague:
I want to alert you to a new featured surgery on ICJR.net:
Mark Powers, MD, performs a direct anterior approach hip replacement on the left hip of a 71-year-old female with advanced arthritis.
Dr. Powers had replaced her right hip the year prior, and at that time he knew he would eventually have to replace the left hip as well. The patient had failed a course of conservative treatment for her left hip and had become unable to ambulate, using a wheelchair most of the time.
I hope you find viewing this procedure helpful in your practice.
Regards,
Henry D. Clarke, MD
Chairman
ICJR.net Web Education Committee
