Dr. Richard Berger Could Save Patients Money with New Procedure

Dr. Richard Berger has revolutionized knee replacement surgery by developing a minimally invasive method of replacing these invaluable joints. As a result of Dr. Berger’s surgical method his patients experience greatly reduced pain and dramatically reduced recovery time compared with patients undergoing traditional hip and knee replacement surgery. In fact most of Dr. Berger’s patients are able to leave the hospital the same day of their joint replacement surgery. This should cut the patients recovery time, spent in a hospital, by%80 and, therefore, save the millions of people who undergo knee replacements surgery every year millions of dollars over all. However, there has been an alarmingly high failure rate of Zimmer knee replacement devices, requiring patients to undergo Zimmer knee revision surgery, which is a lengthy and painful process.


Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure in which a joint (arthro-) is viewed (-scopy) using a small camera. Arthroscopy gives doctors a clear view of the inside of the knee. This helps them diagnose and treat knee problems. Arthroscopy is done through small incisions. During the procedure, your orthopedic surgeon inserts the arthroscope (a small camera instrument about the size of a pencil) into your knee joint. The arthroscope sends the image to a television monitor. On the monitor, your surgeon can see the structures of the knee in great detail. Zimmer knee failure rate is affecting thousands of patients. These patients are advised to contact an experienced Zimmer knee lawyer to ensure proper representation in pursuing legal action.

After the surgery, the patient is sent to a recovery room and then to a hospital room. A few hours after surgery, the patient is examined by one of Dr. Berger’s nurses. The patient will walk down the hospital hallway and will climb and descend one flight of stairs. Once the patient has been thoroughly examined and all questions have been answered, the patient is discharged from the hospital the same day of surgery. Unfortunately, a large percentage of those who have the Zimmer knee implant will end up in the surgical room again. Thousands are filing Zimmer knee lawsuits to receive the compensation they deserve.
