Milford Hospital to Host Program On Advanced Options

From Bridgeport Hospital: Are you having difficulty maintaining an active lifestyle due to joint pain? Has your physician told you that you are a candidate for joint replacement surgery? If so, then you will not want to miss a free educational lecture on Advanced Options in Joint Replacement.

The program is scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 5, at 5:30 p.m. at the Milford Campus Bridgeport Hospital. Orthopedic Surgeon Joel Malin, MD will lead the discussion on advanced surgical options for treating joint pain including Mako Robotic Arm Assisted Joint Replacement Surgery. In addition, participants can see the Mako Robot and observe a demonstration of its precision and technology.

The Mako robotic arm is among the latest advancements in orthopedics allowing surgeons to provide each patient with a personalized surgical experience based on their specific diagnosis and anatomy. The Milford Campus Bridgeport Hospital was the first facility in Greater New Haven, and the only facility on the I-95 corridor from Norwalk to Rhode Island, to offer this advanced option in total knee replacements. The Mako system has been in use at the Milford Campus since 2017.

This informational program is meant for those individuals exploring surgical options for treatment of degenerative joint disease of the hip or knee. The session will be held in the Milford Campus Bridgeport Hospital Auditorium, 300 Seaside Avenue in Milford. Space is limited and registration is required.
