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 you. Why? Because it's written from multiple perspectives of all the people involved. These writers and collaborators include the following: Dr. Francine Campone - who's had both hips replaced; 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 (who also teaches and lectures on PT). Topics covered include: when 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, please give us a great review and thanks for taking this journey with us.
