Free Community Education Seminar on Total Joint Care

“When should you consider total joint surgery?” This question is one many patients ask when knee or hip pain starts to interfere with daily routines. If discomfort keeps you from activities you once enjoyed, it may be time to explore whether joint replacement is the right option.

Orthopedic surgeon Omar Akhtar, MD, Physicians’ Clinic of Iowa (PCI) Department of Orthopedics, will answer that question and discuss treatment options at a free community seminar on total joint care.

Presented by Surgery Center Cedar Rapids, PCI, and UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s Hospital, the seminar will cover when surgery may be appropriate, robotic-assisted surgery procedures, and what to expect before and after surgery.
