Freehold NJ Orthopedic Surgeon Gets Great Public Response to Lecture on Total Knee Replacement Options

Freehold, NJ, October 27, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Computer Assisted Surgery in Total Knee Replacement is one lecture in a planned series of free public lectures to be offered over the next two months by the team of board certified orthopedic surgeons from the Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute in Freehold.

Dr. Manuel Banzon, the orthopedic surgeon who performed the first computer assisted knee replacement at CenterState, using a new high-tech system, demonstrated to the audience that with this minimally invasive approach to surgery patients have a significantly shorter hospital stay and speedier recovery.

Dr. Banzon was pleasantly surprised by the obviously genuine desire of the audience to understand and absorb the sometimes complex orthopedic joint replacement information. "A patient fully informed about the most advanced techniques available will make the correct medical choice for him or herself. I'm gratified that I could help lay out the best in options for those residents of Freehold and others who were here tonight." Because of the great enthusiasm of the audience, the 50 minute lecture was followed by a very lively question and answer session which lasted another hour.

Those who missed out on this opportunity will have another opportunity to attend a repeat lecture on Wednesday November 7 also at CentraState.

Dr. Banzon started his orthopedic practice in Freehold in 1979 with a philosophy of providing high quality and compassionate patient care. Locally, he pioneered the use of Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) in conjunction with Computer Assisted Surgery (CAS) in total joint replacement. He is one of the few surgeons who perform minimally invasive hip replacements using a two-inch, two-incision technique. He does this to benefit his patients, who experience significantly less pain and a much quicker recovery. The majority of his patients recover in less than half the time it takes after traditional hip replacement surgery.

Today, all of the surgeons at Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute perform minimally invasive joint replacement surgery. Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute provides the most advanced medical care in Freehold, NJ, with leading doctors and surgeons, state-of-the-art technology, new facilities, and exceptional Patient-Centered, Patient-Focused Care ™.
