Marc Hungerford, M.D., Director of Joint Replacement and Reconstruction at Mercy Medical Center is the first surgeon in Maryland to perform MAKOplasty partial knee resurfacing, an innovative treatment option for patients with early to mid-stage osteoarthritis of the knee.

Dr. Hungerford will discuss the advantages of this new procedure; the differences from other types of knee surgery; who makes a good candidate for MAKOplasty and the benefits of the new technology, typically enabling a quicker recovery and return to an active lifestyle.
