Martin Memorial to Host Lecture on Partial Knee Replacement Procedure

Martin Memorial is hosting a free orthopedic lecture about MAKOplasty, an innovative partial knee replacement procedure available only at Martin Memorial.

The lecture takes place on Wednesday, March 3 from 6 to 7 p.m. at Traditin Hall, located at 10799 S.W. Civic Lane in Port St. Lucie. Registration is available by calling 1-866-361-HOPE (4673).

Nathaniel Hill, MD, an orthopedic surgeon on staff at Martin Memorial, will lead the lecture. He will talk about how MAKOplasty, using interactive robotic arm technology, enables the surgeon to precisely resurface only the arthritic portion of the knee, while preserving healthy tissue and bone, and optimally positioning the partial knee implant.

Patients experiencing any of the following symptoms may be a MAKOplasty candidate:

• Knee pain with activity, usually on the inner knee, under the kneecap or the outer knee.
• Start-up pain or stiffness when activities are initiated from a sitting position.
• Failure to respond to non-surgical treatment or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication.
