Total Joint Replacement
T
he subspecialty of orthopedics has been around for over
80 years and much has changed in that time. Advances in
technology have allowed patients with complex injuries to be
treated more quickly in a less invasive way. Inpatient hospital
stays with lengthy recovery times and extremely invasive
incisions have given way to more outpatient
surgeries, smaller incisions and quicker recoveries.
Exilis Elite™ is a hand-held, radio-frequency
device that offers a non-invasive, virtually
pain-free treatment for body contouring,
wrinkle reduction, skin tightening and antiaging. It delivers controlled heat to tissue to
destroy fat cells and produce more collagen.

Arthroscopic Surgery
Exilis Elite™
This minimally invasive surgical procedure is used for joint
repair of the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, ankle and foot, to
treat rotator cuff tears and to reconstruct knee ligaments.

Advanced Technology for Joint Replacement
Using computerized technology to aid in the placement of
components can lead to better function and a longer lasting
joint replacement. Combining this technology with minimally
invasive surgical techniques limits bone or tissue loss at the
time of surgery.
treatment package
New patients only. Valid for any body area. Must
mention coupon when scheduling. Limited time offer.
Computer Assisted Knee Replacement
MAKOplasty (often referred to as MAKO) is a surgical robot
that utilizes a computerized model of your own knee so that the
implant’s size and position are optimized. With this technique, ligament
preservation is possible and tensions adjusted to allow for a well-balanced
joint before any bone is resected. The bone is then removed very carefully
with a robotic arm only in the location where the implant is placed. This
allows for the least invasive procedure and the most natural feeling knee
replacement.
Anterior Hip Replacement
This technique allows the placement of the prosthesis without the need to
cut muscle. No motion restrictions are required post-operatively and most
patients are walking the same day of surgery with minimal pain. “We are now able to have
patients walk with their new
knee or hip the very same
day as surgery, with little or
no pain. Patients no longer
need to stay in the hospital
or rehab center for lengthy
periods of time.”

Surgeon at The Everett Clinic

Vision Correction
Surgery:
Three Important Facts
ave you been considering vision correction surgery like LASIK, but had
questions about what the procedure involved or if you were a good candidate?
Vision correction includes several surgical procedures designed to eliminate or reduce your need for
glasses or contact lenses. The two most common types of vision correction surgeries using lasers
include laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).
LASIK and PRK are both procedures that help correct refractive errors, such as
nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. During both procedures, an excimer laser
gently reshapes the cornea which reduces your need for glasses or contacts. When choosing
an eye surgeon, look for someone who uses the most advanced vision correction technology
such as bladeless femtosecond technology and wavefront-based treatment options.
With LASIK, a laser first creates a precise, thin flap of cornea tissue. The flap is then gently
lifted, so that a second laser can be used to reshape the cornea. The flap is then put back
into its original position and acts like your body’s own biological bandage. It re-adheres
naturally, so recovery is fairly rapid. Most LASIK patients can go to work two days later.
PRK is sometimes recommended when a patient has a history of dry eyes, a cornea that’s
too thin for LASIK or participates in contact sports such as martial arts or boxing. In PRK,
the surface layer of cells of the cornea—called epithelial cells—is gently removed before the
customized excimer laser reshapes the cornea. Patients usually return to work within five to
seven days.
Dr. Maylon Hsu is fellowship-trained in Cornea and Refractive Surgery. She is a board-certified ophthalmologist.

Three things to know
for your health.
This flyer is posted monthly in primary
care locations. It highlights important
preventive health recommendations.
Your provider may address these topics
with you at your next visit. Learn more
at everettclinic.com/foryourhealth.
■■ Do you have generally healthy
eyes?
Patients who have certain health problems,
including uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune
or collagen vascular disease, or take any
medication or have any condition that
compromises their immune response are
not good candidates for laser correction
surgery. Certain medications (such as
retinoic acid and steroids) may prevent
proper healing after a refractive procedure.
■■ Are you nursing or pregnant?
Candidates should not be nursing or
pregnant when undergoing LASIK.
Hormones may affect the stability of your
prescription. Previously nursing women
are not eligible for surgery until menstrual
cycles have normalized, usually after two
menstrual cycles.
■■ Is your vision stable?
A good candidate must have vision that
is stable for at least one year prior to the
procedure date.
For more information about Lasik, visit
everettclinic.com/lasik or call 425-339-5435.
Preventive health
screenings
by Amy Moeller, RN and Lisa Marshall, RN
Quality Improvement
The Everett Clinic
During your next visit, your provider may recommend
certain preventive health screenings. These are an
important part of keeping you healthy. There are many
screenings you may need depending on your age and
other factors. Some examples are:
■■ Hepatitis C screening for individuals born between
1945 and 1965
■■ Colon cancer screening for those ages 50 to 75
■■ Annual depression screening for individuals 12
years of age and older
If you would like more information about these
tests, or to find out what you may be due for,
contact your provider’s office.
