Uncommon hip replacement surgery puts golfer back on the links in 32 days

2 NORTHWESTERN LAKE FOREST HOSPITAL

Anterior hip replacement, an alternative approach to traditional hip replacement surgery, is helping patients recover faster and with less pain. Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital is one of a few hospitals in Illinois to offer the procedure, performed by board-certified orthopaedic surgeon Peter Thadani, MD. That was good news for Tom Klein, an active golfer and skier. At just 50 years old, he began experiencing debilitating pain in his hip—and the possibility of losing the activities he loves.

SPRING 2013 3

Anterior solution eases concernsTotal hip replacement requires replacing the upper end of the

thighbone (the femur) with a durable, biocompatible metal ball

and socket. In the United States, most orthopaedic surgeons are

trained on a posterior approach to hip replacement, meaning

they operate from the back side of the hip. However, the anterior

approach—replacing the hip bones from the front—involves less

cutting into muscle, which means less pain and faster recovery.

While the anterior approach has been the common method in

Europe for over 50 years, it was introduced in the United States

only in the last decade and is still not widely practiced.

Like many patients facing hip replacement, Klein had some

concerns about the effects of hip replacement surgery. He had

heard “horror stories” about infection, pain and waiting long

periods before regaining full functionality. He knew that the

surgery was safe and effective, but hoped for an even better

solution. So when a friend told him that anterior hip replacement

is the least invasive and painful approach, he began looking for

a surgeon.

“I was relieved to find that Dr. Thadani performs this procedure,

right near home at Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital,“ he says.

“My three kids were born there, so I knew it was a great place,

with amazing staff.”

“ The pain was really manageable. I started golfing about a month later and planned our next family ski trip.” — TOM KLEIN

A constant painTom Klein lives in Libertyville with his wife Barbara and their

children Nicole, 19, Eric, 17 and Callie, 13. And he has been

living with something else for the last five years: constant pain

in his hip.

“It was always there … when I walked, when I slept, when I

woke up, when I went to work and when I golfed,” recalls Klein.

“There were times when the pain almost caused me to fall over.”

Klein, a sales executive with Rotary Paper Manifold, grew up

playing tennis but learned to love golf later in life. He also took

up skiing and treasures the skiing trips he takes with his family.

A healthy and relatively young man, he was surprised at feeling

severe pain in his hip, even though he had never been injured.

He visited his physician and was diagnosed with arthritis. He also

learned that even prescription medication would do little to control

the pain, and he would likely need total hip replacement surgery.

But Klein wasn’t ready for that. Over the next three years, he

managed to keep up with his usual activities, always gritting his

teeth to get through the pain. A skiing trip in February of 2012

was a turning point.

“It was the first time it hurt during the activity and not just

after,“ he recalls. “The pain was killing me, and I said ‘uncle.’ I

just couldn’t keep grinding through each day. My quality of life

had really deteriorated. Mentally, I was ready.”


SPRING 2013 5

“ With anterior hip replacement surgery, the patient experiences more immediate benefits because it requires less disruption and trauma to the surrounding tissue.” — PETER THADANI, MD

One of a handful of surgeonsDr. Thadani is one of a few orthopaedic surgeons in Lake County who

regularly performs anterior hip replacement surgery and one of the small

handful of surgeons in Illinois. In his 14 years of practice specializing in hip

and knee replacements, he has observed the outcomes of both traditional

posterior hip replacement and anterior hip replacement.

“In my opinion, anterior is the preferred approach,” explains Dr. Thadani.

“The traditional posterior approach is a good surgery, and both have a

90 percent success rate. But with anterior, the patient experiences more

immediate benefits because it requires less disruption and trauma to the

surrounding tissue. That means less pain, and risk of complications is lower

because we can use real-time X-rays to guide the procedure. You can’t do

that with posterior because of how the patient must be positioned.”

To offer anterior hip replacement, Dr. Thadani acquired additional

classroom and laboratory training and an apprenticeship. He also arranged

to have a surgeon experienced with the anterior approach fly in to assist

with his first surgery.

“Anterior hip replacement is still a major operation,” he says. “But patients

are thrilled with the fast recovery and having less pain than they expected.”

Compared with traditional posterior

hip replacement (operating from

the back of the hip), anterior (front)

hip replacement offers immediate

benefits:

• Lessinvasiveincisions

• Lesstraumatosurroundingtissue

reduces pain

• Fasterrecoverytimeandreturnto

formeractivities

• Fewerpostoperativemovement

restrictions (bending, twisting,

reaching)

• EnablesX-rayguidedsurgery,

which reduces complications such

as differences in leg length. The

anterior approach also reduces

the risk of dislocation.

Benefits of anterior hip replacement surgery


Hitting the links—and slopes—againAfter having his surgery in April of 2012, Klein experienced the

benefits first hand. Traditional hip replacement surgeries can

require extensive rehabilitation, and patients must avoid simple

movements like crossing legs or bending over to tie shoes. They

often rely on reach extenders (“grabbers”) at home and may stay

on strong pain medication for weeks after surgery. While it can

take up to three months to return to some activities, Klein was

back on the golf course within 32 days.

“I came out on crutches, not in a wheelchair,” he says. “I

did what I was supposed to do, staying careful and doing my

exercises. But I didn't feel restricted. I felt strong, and the pain

was really manageable—I didn’t need any of the prescription

pain meds. I started golfing about a month later and planned

our next family ski trip.”

Klein credits the anterior hip replacement surgery with his

recovery. But access to an advanced surgical option was not the

only factor in his decision. “If I hadn’t really liked Dr. Thadani, I

would have gone elsewhere,” he says. “You have to like your

guy, and he and the hospital staff did a great job. I feel fantastic,

and it has been a while since I’ve been able to say that.”

“ My heart had always been a ticking time bomb—I just didn't know it. Trusting Dr. Benge’s years of experience saved me from having a heart attack.” — Craig Johnson

WHEN HEART DISEASE SNEAKS UP

Unexpected test saves a man from the silent killer


Craig Johnson, 60, of Mundelein, Illinois has a family history that gave clear warning: both of his grandfathers had died from heart attacks, and his mother had a heart attack as well. However, Johnson never had any signs or symptoms and no prior test results that indicated heart disease. So when he began feeling fatigued and had trouble keeping up with his wife on bike rides, he chalked it up to being “old and out of shape.”

But the truth was that one of Johnson’s main arteries was heavily clogged.

His blood was struggling to circulate, and he was at high risk for having

a deadly heart attack. Luckily, an alert physician and quick, expert cardiac

care at Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital led to treatment that prevented

surgery and likely saved Johnson’s life.

OFFICE VISIT LEADS TO SURPRISE TEST RESULTUnrelated to his heart, Johnson had begun having some trouble

and discomfort with swallowing and made an appointment with his

gastroenterologist. As a matter of routine before further testing, his

physician ordered a stress test for Johnson. The stress test results indicated

a potential problem, which led to a coronary angiogram performed by

Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital cardiologist William Benge, MD, FACC.

It was after regaining full consciousness following the procedure that Johnson

was shocked to learn that he had a 70 to 80 percent blockage in one of his

major arteries and that—without treatment—he would have been at serious

risk for a heart attack in the next six months.

“Dr. Benge was really emphatic and convinced me that we needed

to check for blockage after my stress test results,” said Johnson, 60.

“Thankfully I listened to him, and he was able to open the blocked artery

and have me home after a short stay in the hospital for observation.”

“As in Craig’s case, heart disease often reveals no symptoms,” said Benge,

who specializes in interventional cardiology. “The so-called ‘silent killer’

sneaks up on millions of people, which is why heart disease remains the

number one cause of death for both men and women in America and

throughout the world.”

SPRING 2013 9

ANGIOGRAM, ANGIOPLASTY—HOW THEY WORKTo check the flow of blood to and from the heart, Benge

performed a coronary angiogram on Johnson at the advanced

cardiac catheterization lab at Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital.

During an angiogram, a catheter is guided through an artery to

the heart to view blood flow through the artery. X-ray images

record the blood flow through the coronary arteries and show

how the heart is pumping blood. The doctor views these images

in real-time to find where the blockage exists.

Once Johnson’s blockage was detected, Benge performed an

angioplasty—threading a thin, flexible tube from the groin to

the damaged artery, where a small balloon inflates the blocked

artery to reopen it, and a metal coil called a stent is placed in the

artery to help keep it open.

AVOIDING MAJOR HEART SURGERYMore and more, cardiac patients can be treated with less invasive

treatments—and often on an outpatient basis—that make

surgery unnecessary. Angioplasty is one of several procedures

performed at Northwestern Lake Forest's advanced cardiac

catheterization lab, including the diagnosis and treatment

of irregular heart rhythms and managing the intricacies of

pacemakers and defibrillators.

The Northwestern Lake Forest Cardiac Rehabilitation Program

complements the cardiac treatment and services and minimizes

the effects of cardiac illness through monitored exercise, risk

management and nutritional counseling. Additionally, the Bluhm

Cardiovascular Institute in Lake Forest brings the extensive

clinical and research experience from the Bluhm Cardiovascular

Institute of Northwestern Memorial Hospital to the treatment of

patients in Lake County.

“I was really fortunate with the care I received. The first doctor

did the right thing when he noticed that something was not

right, and Dr. Benge did the right thing in spelling out to me

the serious risk of heart attack,” said Johnson. “This experience

has taught me that you can’t fool yourself: you’ve got to be

aware that it can happen to you, particularly if you have a family

history, and you have to work hard to take care of yourself.”

Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital nurse navigator Jennifer Tepper, MSN, APN, CNS, breast surgeon/oncologist Tara Breslin, MD, MS, FACS, and nurse navigator Cathy Spagnoli, MSN, APN, CNS

breast cancer surgeryA surgeon explains what you should know

Better


A patient with breast cancer is referred to you. What happens next?At the initial consultation we review

the diagnosis and all of the patient’s

treatment options. Successfully

treating breast cancer patients means

understanding who is or isn’t a candidate

for the different therapies. An important

part of the consultation is discussing

what happens after surgery. The more

the patient understands the full spectrum

of care, the better her outcomes

and recovery.

How do you address concerns about pain?I start discussing the postoperative

experience well before surgery. But typically,

pain after breast cancer surgery is very

manageable, and patients are only on a

short course of narcotics followed by

over-the-counter pain medication. Other

cancer treatments, like chemotherapy, may

cause pain and discomfort. But we have a

wide variety of supportive care available

to help patients manage.

Mastectomy patients are, understandably, concerned about appearance. What do you tell them?Women have more options today for

preserving and improving appearance

during breast cancer surgery. I work with

the reconstructive or plastic surgeon

(my referral or the patient’s choice) to

determine a plan for when reconstruction,

if desired, is appropriate for their cancer

type and stage. A surgeon should also be

knowledgeable about the latest skin-

sparing techniques. It’s important that

your surgeon balance the best possible

cosmetic result without compromising

the medical, oncologic outcome.

Do surgeons who specialize in breast cancer with a high volume of surgeries also have better outcomes?Many patients are well cared for by

general surgeons and oncology surgeons,

some of whom may perform only a

low volume of breast cancer surgeries.

However, a surgeon like myself who

specializes in breast cancer surgery may

be more deeply involved in research and

the entire spectrum of multidisciplinary

care. For example, I have over 12 years

of experience exclusively performing

breast cancer surgeries and a high annual

volume. I am also deeply involved in

research and other projects aimed at

improving diagnosis and management.

You hear about independent “cancer centers.” How do these differ from hospital-based centers like Northwestern Lake Forest?Some institutions and for-profit

companies have begun describing

themselves in this way—it suggests

a “one-stop-shop” for breast cancer

patients. However, the reality is that

patients do not see these different

specialists all at once or on the same

day. It’s a longer, phased process that

varies with each patient.

However, one of the most important

factors in good breast cancer outcomes

is access to evidence based, multi-

disciplinary care (oncology, radiology,

physical therapy). At Northwestern

Lake Forest, we have an excellent

multidisciplinary team, and we offer

a convenient, full spectrum of breast

cancer care. We can also connect patients

with other advanced services at the

Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of

Northwestern University.

No one wants to receive a diagnosis of breast cancer. The good news is that having the right surgeon can make all the difference in your experience. We talked with Tara Breslin, MD, a board-certified breast surgeon, about what patients should know. Dr. Breslin recently joined Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital as medical director of the breast care program. She is an award-winning breast cancer researcher who worked as a surgeon and assistant professor in top academic medical centers for many years before joining Northwestern Lake Forest.

THE CUTTING EDGE

There was the woman beset by stubborn, difficult nausea, whose grown children were distraught by her discomfort and lack of options. Or the young mother struggling with chemotherapy symptoms while supporting a family on her own. Both patients—and many more like them—received help from Midwest Palliative & Hospice Center and are now back to their former activities.

Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital recently established a dynamic

partnership with Midwest CareCenter to offer palliative care to

patients in the hospital and after release. Palliative care improves

quality of life and longevity for patients facing serious, complex illness.

What is palliative care? Palliative care is specialized, interdisciplinary care meant to

relieve the symptoms of serious illness (pain, nausea, fatigue,

depression) and reduce the stress patients experience trying

to manage daily needs and navigate care. Like other medical

specialists, palliative care physicians receive additional fellowship

training in palliative medicine. They work with nurses, social

workers and chaplains to provide expert symptom relief as well

as support for emotional, spiritual and practical needs. The

palliative care team works alongside the patient’s physician

during treatment in the hospital. If the patient’s issues are not

satisfactorily resolved while they are in the hospital, palliative

care can be continued in the patient’s home, in a nursing

facility or in the clinic. Palliative care is typically paid for by

insurance, just like any other medical specialty the primary

physician recommends.

Midwest CareCenter is one of the foundational palliative care

programs in the country. The partnership with Northwestern

Lake Forest provides some of the most comprehensive palliative

care options in the Chicagoland area.

Palliative care manages symptoms and stress of serious illness


Not the same as hospicePalliative care is often confused with hospice, but is quite different. Although

diagnosed with a life-altering illness, many patients who receive palliative care

are expected to recover or stabilize, and they may have years ahead of them.

Palliative care is provided at the same time as the physicians try to cure or stabilize

the underlying disease. In contrast, hospice often requires patients to be at the

point where they have decided to stop chemotherapy or other attempts to treat

their disease. Additionally, Medicare defines hospice as care only for patients with

six months or less to live. Palliative care has none of these restrictions.

“One of the main differences is that we work alongside the patient’s physician

while other standard treatment is ongoing,” explains Gordon Wood, MD,

a physician board certified in palliative medicine and internal medicine and

director of Palliative Medicine and Supportive Care at Northwestern Lake Forest.

“Patients, and even some members of the medical team, confuse it with hospice.

Unfortunately, that can be a barrier to receiving this highly beneficial, extra layer

of care and support.”

But why would a trained physician request help with symptom management?

“Palliative care is like any other medical specialty,” explains Dr. Wood. “Every

physician can read an EKG, but a cardiologist might be called in for a more

complicated heart problem. Similarly, an oncologist may be well trained in cancer

treatment, but might bring in a palliative medicine specialist for expert symptom

management and patient communication. ”

Research-proven benefitsSeveral academic medical institutions have conducted major research studies on

palliative care. The New England Journal of Medicine recently published a landmark

study showing that lung cancer patients who received palliative care early on, at the

time of diagnosis, lived longer and had better-controlled symptoms.

“Palliative care makes a tremendous difference because it reduces the stress of a

major illness,” says Dr. Wood. “It also helps patients weather their treatment, and,

because they understand their illness, they make better decisions about their care.”
