Скачать или смотреть How I Got My Life Back: Nancy’s Knee Revision Success Story (30s) - HSS

Nancy’s first surgery was a total knee replacement, which she had at a hospital near her Connecticut home. She wound up with an infection that destroyed most of her tibia and fibula as well as her patella tendon. After undergoing a second surgery to repair the first knee replacement, the infection still had not cleared and Nancy was given the news that she might lose her leg. That’s when she sought out the expertise of the joint replacement surgeons at HSS. Working with a team of experts, including infectious disease specialists, Nancy’s surgeon performed a knee revision surgery and cleared the infection.

Knee replacement is a surgery focused on reducing pain and getting you back to the activities you love. But not all hospitals achieve the same results. HSS joint replacement surgeons are not just experts in orthopedic procedures; they are focused exclusively on hip and knee replacement. Our infection and readmission rates are much lower than the national average and 96% of patients report improvement within 12 months after their treatment.
