In a very special recording of AAHKS Amplified, three leading orthopaedic surgeons Zachary C. Lum, DO, Obinna O. Adigweme, MD and Adam A. Sassoon, MD, MS talk candidly on how they approach, address and respond to this question often asked by their patients “Do I Need A Hip or Knee Replacement?”
Although this seems like a fairly simple question to respond to, it’s actually very difficult to answer and responses vary from patient to patient. In this recording, each surgeon shares how they carefully evaluate their patients to provide them with the best course of action as it relates to their health. With this being an elective surgery, they share how they take very careful measures to provide them with medical guidance that will benefit them as the patient and improve quality of life overall. If you’re considering a hip or knee replacement, review our Patient Education website at hipknee.aahks.org/ for various articles that can help guide you along the journey of determining if you’re a candidate for surgery, ways of preparing for surgery, alternatives to surgery and so many more.
Enjoy, and thanks for listening to AAHKS Amplified!
