New knee gives coach mountain top experience

 

"Here I am at the top of Pulpit Rock in Norway - 1,000 meters above the fjord - a 4 mile hike up and 4 mile hike back via a rock strewn path that was very challenging. I could not have done this before my knee surgery.

 

"I am the women's basketball coach at Ave Maria University. I was able to return to the basketball court in 8 weeks and was able to golf, jog and play tennis within 12 weeks.

 

"I currently walk 4 miles a day, in addition to the time on the basketball court during the season (2 hours a day from September 1 to the middle of March).

 

"Thank you, Dr. Zehr."

 

-Bob Batson

School's back in session in Southwest Florida! Ave Maria's women's basketball coach Bob Batson is ready for the school year with a new knee, see his testimony (left).
 
The folks at Cytonics, Inc. are busy with their studies of the A2M super-molecule and how this new therapy (available in Southwest Florida ONLY at ZCO) will benefit knee osteoarthritis patients. Two of our patients' testimonials are included on the Cytonics website.

In an effort to always keep on the front edge of the technology curve, I have become quite proficient in the robotic technology available to implant unicompartmental knee replacement, called MAKOplasty®. This highly refined procedure gives better overall alignment of the components, better ligamentous balance and quicker recovery than ever possible with older technology.

With all of the advancements in orthopaedic treatments and enhancements in the services we offer at ZCO, it's time to educate everyone - so we will once again be presenting seminars, and for the first time, expanding them into Lee County. We should have the schedule ready for you by next month's newsletter, so stay on the lookout for it.

Warm regards, 
Robert J. Zehr, M.D.
