Medical Advances in Orthopaedics
Anterior Hip Replacement
Summary: This exciting alternative technique for hip replacement surgery allows the surgeon to expose the hip without removing as much muscle from the bone or disturbing the capsule of the hip joint, which means faster recovery time. The procedure is performed on a special orthopaedic table called the Hannah table.
Biomaterials for Hip and Knee Replacement
Summary: Emory is on the forefront of investigating and using new, alternative biomaterials for hip and knee replacement that can enhance the life of a new hip or knee.
Magnetically Expandable Prosthesis
Summary: The Emory Musculoskeletal Oncology and Limb Reconstruction Center is a world-class program treating a variety of conditions, including benign and malignant tumors of the extremities and spine and the placement of expandable implants that use magnets to treat sarcoma of the bone and soft tissue.
