3. Mr Nay just had one hip replaced and in 2 weeks he's having the other replaced.

We went to a seminar about a relatively new procedure called a "makoplasty." In this procedure, a computer-generated picture of your hip is used to place the replacement very accurately so that you get the correct angle of the joint capsule and ball. The surgery is computer-guided so the surgeon cannot put the ball in badly. Mr Nay is ecstatic about his new hip and can hardly wait to get the other one. It is proving to be the most accurate way to replace hips and knees.
