We had such great success when we dropped the price of the handbook
below $29.95 that we have kept it down to help people who need this
information get it. We hope to hold the price of the book at $23.95
indefinitely. We also wish to thank everybody who bought the
handbook as a present for somebody they know who is thinking about
this life changing journey. If you want to know more about Hip or
Knee Total Joint Replacement, this book is written by both a hip
replacement patient and a knee replacement patient and they have
both been through this extensive surgery twice. In addition, Dr.
Ronald R. Hugate Jr. brings his wisdom and advice to this great
book and asked two of his favorite, professional, medical
colleagues from his team of medical experts to contribute as well
(one is a preeminent pain management specialist and
anesthesiologist, Dr. Gianni Checa; and the other is an expert
physical therapist Ms. Inger Brueckner MSPT). You will learn about:
Deciding on a hip replacement... Deciding on a knee replacement...
What's going on in your arthritic joints... Choosing your
surgeon... Preparing your home... Your options for anesthesia and
pain management... How long you'll be in the hospital... How long
it'ill take to recover... Physical therapy and why you need it...
What your life will be like afterward... Written expressly for you
as the patient, this is the newest-and best-resource we know of for
you if you're contemplating hip or knee joint replacement surgery
Whether you've already had total joint replacement of the hip or
knee-or you are just now thinking about having a bad hip joint, or
bad knee joint replaced, the "Handbook of Hip & Knee Joint
Replacement: Through the Eyes of the Patient, Surgeon & Medical
Team" is unsurpassed in it's breadth and scope and is now gaining
wide recognition approaching a 1000 copies This definitive,
patient's educational resource brings the subject to life for you
using clear, understandable language written to guide you in
learning everything you need to know about the journey to a new

the people involved. These writers and collaborators include the

Robert D. Holland - who's had two knee replacements; Dr. Ronald R.
Hugate Jr. - a renowned orthopedic surgeon who also specializes in
bone oncology and limb preservation, is a veteran combat-surgeon in
the U.S. Army Reserves and has taken care of our troops in both
Afghanistan and Iraq; Dr. Gianni Checa - who often works with Dr.
Hugate, and is a renowned anesthesiologist and pain management
specialist; and finally, Inger Brueckner, MSPT - who also works
with Dr. Hugate, and is an excellent, senior physical therapist

you 'need' a joint replacement, the anatomy of the knee and hip,
the effects of aging on your joints, how to select a surgeon,
introduction to the members of the medical team, how to prepare
your home for a safe recovery, options available in anesthesia, the
hospital stay, physical therapy after joint replacement, potential
risks of surgery, and insurance issues... among many others. This
handbook is unique in that you gain perspective from both patients
and medical professionals. You are not 'lectured to' with technical
medical jargon, but rather a part of the conversation. There are
simply no other medical handbooks like it. You won't be
disappointed with this easily understood and informative look at
the journey through joint replacement If you love the handbook,
