Gender-Specific Knee Surgery


 
Surgeons at Bon Secours St. Francis Health System in Greenville, South Carolina, will perform a gender specific knee replacement during a live internet broadcast. Bill DeVault, MD, will perform the procedure, and Daniel E. Lee, MD, will moderate the hour-long webcast. A gender specific knee replacement is a special type of joint replacement that is shaped to match the specific contours of a woman's anatomy.
 
Viewers will have the opportunity to e-mail questions to the doctors during the surgery.
 
OR-Live will host the surgery web cast, and it can be accessed through the following links:
