The Inn at Shattuck- our new home!
One week ago, our speaker was Dr. John Sauer, an orthopedic surgeon who has been practicing here at the Mayo Clinic for the last three months. His presentation was titled the "Evolution of Joint Arthroplasty, where we started and where we are going. Some of the changes over the last 20- 30 years included being admitted one day prior to surgery and hospital stays up to two weeks whereas now admittance is the same day with two to three day stays or even outpatient in some situations. the durability of implants has greatly improved allowing younger patients to successfully undergo procedures that last a lifetime.Many procedures have faster recovery times, better pain management along with fewer wound complications to enhance outcomes for the patient. The topic generated a healthy Q & A discussion at the end of the presentation.
Thank you, Karen for setting up this program!
