Slocum-Dickson Medical Group in New Hartford, N.Y., has begun offering the Jiffy Knee procedure, a minimally invasive approach to total knee replacement.
John Sullivan, MD, an orthopedic surgeon with the group, is the first and only physician in New York trained to perform the technique, which avoids cutting through tendons by displacing them instead. The approach may result in faster recovery and less postoperative pain compared to traditional total knee replacement, according to a Jan. 27 news release.
Dr. Sullivan underwent specialized training to provide the procedure to patients in the Mohawk Valley region.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
