Event Description

Does knee or hip pain interfere with your daily routine? Is discomfort keeping you from activities you once enjoyed? If so, 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.
