Replay of: Minimally Invasive Total Hip Arthroplasty with Large Head Metal-on-Metal Articulation

First Seen CME Webcast: Tuesday, December 7, 2004 at 6:00pm EST (23:00 UTC)

Baltimore, MD- Sinai Hospital hosted a live webcast featuring a Minimally Invasive Total Hip Arthroplasty with Large Metal-on-Metal Articulation on December 7, 2004 at 6:00pm (EST). The Procedure was performed by Dr. Barry Waldman, Co-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 post operative pain and shorter recovery time. A large head metal on metal articulation assisted 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."
