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.
