Genia Meiler, Community Contributor

The Joint Institute at Saint Barnabas Medical Center will present a free Joint Replacement Seminar on April 11, 2013, at 7:00 pm at the Springfield Free
Public Library.


Discussion will include the myriad of treatment options available to address hip and knee pain up to and including
joint replacement therapy. Primary candidates are individuals with chronic joint pain whose daily activities are limited or eliminated due to pain.


The evening’s speaker will be Michael H. Rieber, MD, a recognized expert from The Joint Institute in complex
reconstructive hip and knee surgery, including minimally invasive knee replacement and the direct anterior approach for hip replacement.  To watch a video featuring Dr. Rieber discuss The Joint Institute and the direct
