Hey ’80′s rocker chicks and dudes, how are your na-na-na-na-na knees, knees, knees?
(Guns and Roses on YouTube – yeah baby!)
Hip and knee replacements used to be the sole property of granny and gramps. And to some extent, they still are.
But more and more men and women in their 50′s (and even in their late 40′s) are getting joint replacements. Check out this article in Aging Well Magazine.
Why? Because quite often our joints are thinking “we’re done” waaaayyyyyyy before we are thinking “we’re done.”
Most of us want to keep doing the things we love (like skiing, hiking, running, playing tennis, going to see those old metal bands, etc.) into our middle age and we sure as heck ain’t gonna let hips and knees stop us. We’re not gonna take it!
We’re the boss, not some little joint.
But, oh boy can they hurt! Plenty of things can go wrong with our joints and the fact is, they wear out.
When they hurt so much, and we’ve tried all the non-medical treatments we know of with no luck, it’s time to talk with an orthopedic surgeon about joint replacement. (Eddie Van Halen had a hip replacement)
Brigham City Community Hospital is on the forefront for joint replacements. In fact, our new hanna orthopedic surgery table provides exceptional maneuverability for our orthopedic specialists. Use of the hana table enables the surgeon to replace hips through a single incision, anterior approach without detaching muscle from the bone. The options offered by this table (not possible with conventional tables) allow for better positioning of our patients and this minimally invasive method of hip replacements contributes to less pain and faster recovery for most patients.
So call us at 1-800-848-4652 and let’s talk about your hips and knees. Let’s get you back to rockin’ out instead of rockin’ chairs.
Hopefully, for the love of everything, none of you are in this video blast from the past.
