Stopping the constant pain
IU Health Bloomington Hospital
Mark Fordyce broke his knee when he was around 30 years old. After years of wear and tear, he developed arthritis in the joint, which progressed to the point where he was in constant pain. That's when he turned to Brandon Hood, MD, IU Health Southern Indiana Physicians Orthopedic Surgeon.
After going over all of the options, a total joint replacement was deemed the best option. And thanks to outpatient surgery, Fordyce was back home in his easy chair by 2 pm on the same day as his operation.
