Freehold Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Alan Nasar Gives the Final Public Lecture of the Current Series by the Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute, Freehold, NJ

Freehold, NJ, December 16, 2007 --(PR.com)-- In the final lecture of the current free public lecture series presented by the Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute in Freehold, New Jersey, Freehold orthopedic surgeon Alan S. Nasar MD discussed the major advancements in hip replacement surgery in recent years and in particular the latest innovations in the treatment of hip pain. In his lecture on Tuesday, December 11, at the CentraState Healthcare Center in Freehold, New Jersey, “Hip Arthroscopy, Hip Resurfacing and Hip Replacement; Are You a Candidate?” Dr Nasar outlined the rationale behind each procedure, what the surgeon hopes to achieve, the big benefits of the newer minimally invasive procedures and what factors define the best candidate for each surgical option. “Whether and when total hip replacement should be performed is not an easy decision, it is an elective procedure and because hip joints can fail with time, there are alternatives for the younger patient when severe pain impedes normal functioning despite latest pain management techniques.” elaborated Dr Nasar, explaining those alternatives clearly with the use of various hip models. He answered a number of very specific questions from the attentive audience following the lecture, addressing concerns about recovery time and management of the associated risks, and engaged in discussion well beyond the lecture hour. “It has been a great pleasure to reassure local residents that all these options are available right here in Freehold.” Dr Nasar summed up with satisfaction.
