May 4, 2005: Knee Surgery: Computer-Assisted, Partial Knee Replacement Improves Patient Recovery Time. See Latest Developments in Virtual Orthopaedic Surgery Techniques in a Live Webcast from Thomas Jefferson University Hospital @ 4:30 pm ET (21:30 UTC)
Knee Surgery: Virtual reality is aiding orthopaedic surgeons at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in replacing arthritis-stricken single compartments of a knee without the patient having to endure a long surgery and recovery involved with a total knee replacement. Computer-assisted, partial knee replacement makes it easier for orthopaedic surgeons to replace diseased sections of the knee without performing a total knee replacement, said Peter F. Sharkey, M.D., associate professor of Orthopaedic Surgery, Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University. The post-surgical recovery time for computer assisted partial knee replacement is about half the time of recovery for a total knee replacement--three weeks, instead of the normal six weeks. Thomas Jefferson University Hospital will host a live webcast of the computer-assisted, partial knee replacement on Wednesday, May 4th, at 4:30 p.m. (21:30 UTC)
