Description

Advancements in technology mean that surgeons performing knee and hip replacement surgery now have some very precise “helping hands” in the operating room. In this presentation, Trevor Crean, DO, discusses the Mako robot—the latest in orthopaedic technology— along with the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis and the available non-surgical and surgical treatment options. Following the presentation, tour the UNM Center of Excellence for Orthopaedic Surgery & Rehabilitation building, seeing multiple labs, including the fully functional tissue engineering lab, cadaver lab, and 3D printing room. The tour also includes the state-of-the-art rehab area. 30 to 45 minutes of standing and walking required. Limited enrollment.

Trevor Crean, DO, is an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in trauma and adult reconstructive surgery at UNM Sandoval Regional Medical Center—a campus of UNM Hospital—and an assistant professor at the UNM School of Medicine.

He later served as chief of orthopaedic trauma at a Level-II trauma center in Michigan before returning to UNM. His work focuses on advanced complex fracture care, joint reconstruction, and resident education. Thank you to UNM SRMC & UNM Health Sciences Center for supporting this opportunity.
