North Broward Medical Center to Host Educational Lecture on Anterior Hip Replacement

Is hip pain keeping you from doing the things you love? Are you considering hip replacement surgery but don’t want the pain, long recovery and precautions associated with traditional hip surgery? You have a choice. Anterior Hip Replacement Surgery using the specially designed Hana table is an innovative, new procedure that allows surgeons to replace the hip without cutting any muscles; resulting in less pain, less scarring and a faster recovery.

Come join Dr. Bruce Janke, Medical Director of the Joint Replacement Center at Broward Health North Broward Medical Center to learn more about the anterior approach to hip replacement surgery. The surgeons at North Broward Medical Center have performed more anterior hip replacements using the Hana table than any other area surgeons.

When: Wednesday, June 17, 2009 6:00 – 8:00 pm
**Space is limited. Please call the Broward Health Line at 954 – 759 – 7400 to reserve your seat.

Where: North Broward Medical Center Conference Center
201 E. Sample Road
Deerfield Beach, FL

Why: Approximately 375,000 Americans undergo hip replacement surgery each year. This number is expected to almost double over the next 25 years due in part to the aging population.
