Patient Success Story: Bilateral Total Hip Replacement
An athletic and active woman in her early 40’s, began having pain in her hips which grew worse over a year’s time. She had to give up running marathons, and as the pain worsened, had to eliminate skiing in the winter, as well as other favorite athletic pursuits throughout the year.
Patient Success Story: Ray Shail – Total Knee Replacement
After an exam and x-rays, Dr. Deveney, Total Joint Specialist / Hip & Knee Surgeon at OrthoConnecticut, informed Ray that he would be able to not only replace his knees, thus alleviating his intense pain, but was also able to straighten his legs. This could be achieved, he explained, using the latest robotic-assisted technology in surgery that has proven to be very successful.
Advantages of MAKOplasty Knee Replacement
Dr. Deveney performs robotic-assisted total hip replacement, robotic-assisted total and partial knee replacements, and was the first orthopedic surgeon in Connecticut to perform a MAKOplasty procedure. He is pleased to utilize the state-of-the-art Mako robot for procedures that require unique planning and superior accuracy of implant placement. Dr. Deveney encourages patients who are suffering from the debilitating pain of degenerative joint disease of the knee or hip, to inquire if they are candidates for MAKOplasty.
