A story of courage, collaboration, and clinical excellence.

When a patient walked through our doors with unbearable pain and a fading hope for recovery, we knew this wasn't going to be a routine case. She was battling a serious infection around previously implanted pelvic hardware, and the infection had spread to her left hip joint, causing septic arthritis.

Several hospitals had already turned her away, saying the operation was too complicated to attempt.

Recognizing the high risk, we assembled a highly specialized team, including experts from Orthopedics, Cardiovascular Thoracic Surgery (CVTS), General Surgery, Urology, Anesthesia, and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) care. This kind of collaboration is rare but essential for cases like this.
