S. Brent Brotzman, MD, a partner with North Austin (Texas) Sports Medicine, is now performing outpatient partial knee replacement at Cedar Park (Texas) Surgery Center, according to a CPSC news release.
Dr. Brotzman is able to perform partial knee replacements as an outpatient procedure because CPSC has purchased pain medication pumps that are administered directly to the nerve. The surgery center also has a T5 Sterishield surgical hood to decrease the risk of infection.
