Hannon Orthopedics Launches Patient Education Video Series Featuring Outpatient Robotic Assisted Knee Replacement Surgery

With growing numbers of young, active patients electing to have total and partial knee replacement surgeries, Double-Board Certified orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Michael Hannon believed insight and knowledge were the most significant tools he could provide his patients to set the stage for a successful procedure. An innovator in the outpatient orthopedic space, Dr. Hannon and his team collaborated with Cedars-Sinai Precision Ambulatory Surgery Center in Beverly Hills and Smith+Nephew, maker of the CORI Surgical System, to create a patient education video series. “The purpose of the video series is to prepare our patients on how to plan ahead and what to expect from an outpatient, robotic-assisted procedure,” explained Dr. Hannon. “The series is broken down into five parts so patients can watch the various stages of preparing and recovering from a joint replacement surgery at their leisure. We find that providing a preview of what the surgery center looks like, understanding how the CORI Robotic System functions and seeing how everyone works as a team provides peace of mind for our patients who are considering the surgery.” The video series is broken into 2.5- to 4-minute segments, including:
