Same-day hip and knee replacement surgery enabled by Johnson & Johnson: A win for patients while fast-tracking the surgical backlog in Ontario
DePuy Synthes, the Orthopaedic Company of Johnson & Johnson, has partnered with Hawkesbury and District General Hospital in Ontario, to support a new, state-of-the art, outpatient hip and knee replacement surgery clinic. This outpatient clinic helps address surgical backlogs that swelled during the pandemic and accelerate joint replacement treatments that patients cannot afford to wait for.
Since the end of 2020, Dr. Paul E. Beaulé, one of the world-renowned orthopaedic surgeons at Hawkesbury, has performed joint replacement surgeries that do not require an overnight hospital stay for patients. Hawkesbury designed the program so patients are in and out of the clinic the same day, have a short rehabilitation period, reduced risk of complications, and a fast recovery.
DePuy Synthes provides the medical technologies, clinical expertise, clinical education, and efficiency solutions to ensure the Hawkesbury clinic delivers positive patient outcomes and experiences.
