New Study Announced

Dr. Madhish Patel, Gardner Orthopedics

Dr Hodge is working with his new partner, fellowship-trained surgeon Madhish Patel, DO, to implement a study of ‘Direct Antibiotic Intra-articular Infusion for Treatment of Prosthetic Joint Infection (PJI).’ Preliminary studies have shown that this shortens the first stage of a two-stage revision from 6-8 weeks to only one week. This is a significant savings in lowering morbidity, cost, and recovery time.
