Overview
This archived Internet broadcast from El Dorado Hospital features a Zimmer® MIS™ sub-vastus total knee replacement surgery. The procedure uses a sub-vastus approach and requires an incision of only 9 to 14 cm, compared with 20 to 30 cm used in a standard knee replacement arthroplasty. Among the goals of this minimally invasive technique are shorter hospital stays, lower blood loss, faster rehabilitation and a more cosmetically appealing surgical scar. Surgeons are able to view the procedure wherever they have high speed internet capability. There is also interactive commentary from faculty surgeons during the broadcast. This activity does not offer CME credit. (This webcast is also available on DVD. Please contact your local Zimmer Sales Representative for more details)
Zimmer MIS Anterolateral Hip Procedure
October 6, 2005
Presbyterian Hospital
Albuquerque, NM
Dr. Richard
E. White, Jr.
Mod: Dr. Louis M. Kwong
Overview
This archived Internet broadcast from Presbyterian Hospital features a Zimmer® MIS™ anterolateral hip procedure, a minimally invasive muscle sparing approach to total hip arthroplasty. The 6-10 cm incision courses between the glutei and the tensor fascia lata muscles directly to the hip capsule. This intermuscular interval through a small incision provides good exposure for total hip replacement and preserves muscle integrity so that rehabilitation may be rapid and the posterior capsule can remain intact, easing concerns about posterior dislocation. Among the goals of this minimally invasive technique are shorter hospital stays, lower blood loss, and a more cosmetically appealing surgical scar. Surgeons are able to view the procedure wherever they have high speed internet capability. There is also interactive commentary from faculty surgeons during the broadcast. This activity does not offer CME credit. (This webcast is also available on DVD. Please contact your local Zimmer Sales Representative for more details)

Overview
With a new procedure that holds promise for many
thousands of aging baby boomers, surgeons at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's
Medical Center will demonstrate a new minimally invasive technique for
unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in a live internet broadcast
Osteoarthritis affects more than 21 million individuals in the United
States. This degenerative joint disease causes cartilage to break down,
removing the buffer between bones in the joints. The resulting bone-on-bone
grinding causes pain and, eventually, a loss of motion. Now, a new minimally
invasive procedure, a unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, has been developed
to help patients whose osteoarthritis has affected only one side of the
knee. Using new techniques and a prosthesis called a Uni knee, surgeons can
successfuly replace only the damaged section of the knee. Clinical results
suggest that patients undergoing this unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
have a shorter hospital stay, have less blood loss, rehabilitate more
quickly, and have smaller scars. Patients may also experience an increased
range-of-motion after recovery.
