The new 9,000 sq. ft. facility for the Joint Replacement Institute at St. Vincent Medical Center (SVMC) enables the Institute to achieve maximum growth and provide expanded care facilities. We have put together an outstanding team to assist us in the operating room, which is running like a finely tuned machine. SVMC provides core financing for the continuation of our research and education in the field of arthroplasty.

The Joint Replacement Institute at St. Vincent Medical Center in Los Angeles is a world leader in hip and knee joint replacement and offers hip resurfacing, a minimally invasive hip replacement procedure for younger, more active adults that conserves maximum bone.
Harlan C. Amstutz, M.D., one of the world's foremost authorities on hip replacement, has recently published "Hip Resurfacing: Principles, Indications, Technique and Results," a book and DVD, a practical guide on hip resurfacing. Each chapter is a self-contained presentation on a significant challenge, with topics ranging from biomechanics, clinical indications, and patient selection, techniques and instrumentation, including the author's own Conserve-Plus device.
The illustrated text includes pre- and post-operative radiographs, full-color clinical photographs, and technical line drawings to provide you with a visual understanding of the subject. The bonus DVD features video clips of surgical techniques narrated by Dr. Amstutz himself.
