The Fort Hill Wellness Series will present its next topic, “New Trends in Orthopedic Surgery” on Thursday, May 15 at 6:30 p.m. at Fort Hill Activity Center, located at 20 Fort Hill Drive. Advocate Health Care doctors, Dr. Brito and Dr. Khan, will explore how new techniques and technologies have revolutionized hand, upper and lower extremity surgeries – leading to significantly reduced recovery time. Their discussion will focus on hip, knee and shoulder replacements.

Orthopedic surgery is a surgical specialty focused on the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles. Common examples of orthopedic surgery include joint replacements, ACL surgery and back surgery. Orthopedic injuries are most common for adults over the age of 50.
