“We want to express our sincere appreciation”::Orthopedics

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

We received the message below from a patient and her husband expressing their sincere thanks to Pardee Hospital, Dr. Brooks and our amazing orthopedic team. It’s always great to hear about such a wonderful experience.

“We want to express our sincere appreciation for the care, diligence, and professionalism exhibited by the entire staff of the Orthopedic Unit at Pardee.

Dr. Brooks replaced Patsy’s left knee on February 7, 2011 and her right knee last year, March 1, 2010. Both of these experiences were positive. When one is surrounded by a caring group, a wonderful doctor and the rehabilitation staff, healing is much faster and pleasant.

The Pardee organization is first class and we appreciate the comfort that it provided.”

Sincerely,

Patsy and Charlie

Peter Mangone M.D., pioneers arthroscopic lateral ankle ligament reconstruction

Friday, March 25th, 2011

Peter Mangone, M.D., with Blue Ridge Bone and Joint in Hendersonville, has been recognized as a pioneer in arthroscopic lateral ankle ligament reconstruction. This comes after the acceptance of a manuscript he co-authored entitled ‘Arthroscopic Lateral Ankle Ligament Reconstruction’ that will be featured in Techniques in Foot and Ankle Surgery later this year.

Mangone began his research in 2007. “I knew there had been great advancements in arthroscopic techniques for instability over the last twenty years in other joints such as the shoulder and the knee. I felt it was time to start bringing those concepts to the world of foot and ankle surgery,” said Mangone.

Dr. Mangone has also announced his partnership with Jorge Acevedo M.D., of West Palm Beach, Florida, to further develop this technique. Together, they plan to start hands-on training of this advanced arthroscopic technique to other surgeons in the United States as well as internationally later this year.

Brian Seng, D.O., to discuss hip joint replacement

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

Brian Seng, D.O., with Hendersonville Orthopedic Associates, will discuss the procedure for replacing a hip joint at the Minimally Invasive Anterior Hip Replacement presentation on Friday, March 18, from 12 – 1 p.m. at the Pardee Health Education Center, located in the Blue Ridge Mall.

Minimally invasive surgery is an increasing trend that replaces the hip joint with prosthesis using a small incision. This type of procedure provides a number of benefits including minimal scarring, less post-operative pain and fewer days spent in the hospital. An anterior approach does not disturb the tissues and muscles surrounding the hip area, increasing mobility and resulting in a faster recovery.

This presentation is free and open to the public. Registration is required by calling 1-866-790-WELL. For more information on minimally invasive surgery and anterior approach hip replacement, please visit www.hipreplacement.com.

Eliminating pain. For good.
