CPU-Navigated Procedure Gives Woman Needed Strength

While out walking her dog, 71-year-old Sandra badly injured her right knee, causing her severe pain for nearly a year. After a medical examination, it was discovered that Sandra had arthritis in both of her knees. Everything soon changed when she sought treatment from Dr. Jaime D. Hernandez at Southern California Orthopedic Institute.

Dr. Hernandez, joint replacement specialist, suggested a CPU-navigated knee procedure that would return Sandra to her active lifestyle. The CPU-navigated procedure acts as a “global positioning system” offering perfect alignment for the knee joint, which is specifically designed for each patient’s musculoskeletal makeup.

“Providing better precision and accuracy than a traditional knee replacement, the minimally invasive procedure restored Sandra’s range of motion,” says Dr. Hernandez. “Due to the minimal disruption of muscles around the affected area, her recovery was much shorter.”

As a self-employed psychologist, Sandra’s lifestyle changed dramatically after the CPU-navigated procedure. She now enjoys walking on the weekends, riding her bicycle, and living pain-free at home and at work.

“I have increased focus at my job, and I can even plan a trip to Miami to see my daughter, something I’ve been prevented from doing because of my severe arthritis,” says Sandra. “The results of my procedure have been amazing and I find myself enjoying the things I always used to.”

The CPU-navigated procedure offered by Dr. Hernandez and Southern California Orthopedic Institute gives arthritis and other bone disease sufferers another option to restore their active lifestyle.
