HIFU Prostate Cancer Treatment And The Medical Tourist


High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is gaining popularity as a novel, non-invasive method for the treatment of prostate cancer. It is an extremely accurate procedure which aims to destroy all pathogenic tissues by high frequency sound waves. This kind of treatment method had been long sought by doctors to treat prostate cancer. Some of the possible benefits of HIFU for prostate cancer as opposed to traditional methods of treatment are less loss of erectile function and less incontinence. Thus, HIFU is an extremely desirable treatment for many men.

HIFU has been used for years in Europe and Asia but has only just been approved in other parts of the world. Unfortunately, while some countries like Canada accepted data garnered from European studies about the efficacy of HIFU, others like The United States did not, and it is currently in trials in America.

Unfortunately, this leaves Americans with no options for this procedure other than to leave the country for treatment. Although cost for HIFU in countries like Canada and Mexico can be above $25,000, the treatment can be had in other countries for less than half of that.

Passport Medical, North America's leading medical tourism company and the winner of the 2011 "Leadership Excellence In Medical Facilitation" award organizes overseas HIFU treatments for American and Canadian patients looking for affordability, quality, and safety. Fortunately, the prostate treatment with HIFU only requires 3-4 days away, and patients can usually return to work immediately after their return.

The Growth Of Medical Tourism And Its Benefits

Medical tourism refers to the practice of traveling internationally to obtain healthcare services. The idea is often initially met with a strange look, and then people realize the many benefits associated with the practice. Excellent quality healthcare services are provided all over the world in major metropolitan centers. Major private hospitals attract the top physicians, many who have trained internationally. This is why medical tourism is increasing at a rate of over 30% per year.

So why travel abroad for healthcare? There are typically several reasons this happens:

Uninsured Or Underinsured

Many Americans do not have health insurance and are looking for affordable options. With healthcare costs skyrocketing, many can't afford the often outrageous costs associated with necessary procedures like orthopedic surgery and cardiovascular surgery. Other countries often offer the same procedures in internationally accredited private hospitals for as much as 80-90% less. A knee replacement that can cost $50,000 in the US can be had for $7000 in Taiwan, for example, at one of the world's top joint replacement facilities.

More Affordable Elective Procedures

With the economy is dire straits, more people are being careful with their discretionary spending. Elective procedures like cosmetic surgery, fertility treatments like IVF, and dental care can be financially debilitating in the U.S. Countries like Costa Rica and Mexico attract tens of thousands of visitors each year for affordable dental and cosmetic surgery, and many of the clinics are treating over 85% North American patients due to the huge cost difference. A full mouth restoration that can cost $70,000 in the U.S. can cost as little as $15,000 In Costa Rica, a saving of 83%. In addition, many are shocked to find out The World Health Organization even ranks Costa Rican healthcare higher than U.S. healthcare, so arguments about diminished quality are totally unfounded.

Seeking Alternative Procedures

One other reason people are leaving home for healthcare is to access treatments that are not currently allowed in The United States. Treatments like stem cell therapy and promising treatments like HIFU for prostate cancer are attracting thousands of Americans each year in search of what they can't access at home. Medical tourists are taking control of their healthcare and seeking treatment options outside their borders.

Popular Destinations

Above 50 countries have acknowledge medical tourism as a national industry. Of these, a few are very well known. Countries like Costa Rica, Taiwan, India, Thailand, Singapore are only a few of the countries that are attracting tens of thousands, and in some cases hundreds of thousands of international patients every year.

Various agencies are now looking to help patients organize these foreign health trips and to provide affordable, high quality treatment options. Passport Medical has grown to be North America's leading medical tourism company connecting clients with the world's top facilities for healthcare. Passport Medical received the 2011 "Leadership Excellence In medical Facilitation" award and has been a keynote speaker at a variety of international medical tourism conferences.

Running After Knee Replacement


Any doctor will tell you it's not recommended to run after a knee replacement, because one piece is metal and the other piece is non-metal. Wear will come at some point depending on how much you run. Perhaps take up another type of exercise program. Running is considered a high impact sport. You can walk just about all you want to replace running. However, it will take double distance of walking to burn up the same amount of calories of the distance you ran.

Not many runners want to walk because, that's one reason they run. Walking is time consuming. Some people have plenty of time to kill. I don't! Any sport that has a lot of side to side movement like tennis is a no-no! If you were a full blown runner most likely you'll return to running at some point. It took me two years before I could up grade from a walk to a run. Then another year before I could run a full mile. Mainly because the idea was put in my head to not do it!

It's really a personal choice of what it all boils down to. A 136 pound 10% body fat is where I was before the knee replacement. Afterwards, I gained a whopping 40 pounds! A 176 pounds on a 5' 7" guy is not good for your health! That alone was enough reason for me to start running again. I'm still not 136, but I'm a lean 145. I'm happy with that for someone not racing anymore. I'm not saying I'll never race again, I'm just not right now.

These days two miles every other day, then alternate that week with two miles every day. The following week go back to two miles every other day. Of course I walk a whole lot more than I use to. My walking is no piddling around! A good walk pace is one mile every fifteen minutes. In other words four miles in an hour. I've read of some world-class master and senior runners alternating running with walking is their new way of training. If you email me, I'll dig up that information for you.

Running or whatever activity you choose to do after knee replacement is a real personal choice type thing. Only you, will know that for sure. I've read about some runners returning to racing, but that's them. I personally don't want to take a chance of messing up my $50,000 knee. I was told if you do wear out the plastic piece, it's not that a big of a deal surgery, like the initial knee replacement surgery.

If running is a weight thing for you, then here's another idea. If your having a weight problem, a lot of that is due to what you eat! If you're a vegetarian then just go ahead full boat to being on a raw food diet. This is a diet good for your health anyway, regardless if your over weight or not. Less weight on your artificial knee is a good thing. Less weight on your whole body is a good thing! Live longer and with a healthier lifestyle wither you have an artificial knee or not! All this is my personal experience. Check with your doctor and attorney before you do anything!

How to Work With Your Scar Tissue to Get Rid of It!


First off, let me congratulate you that you are trying to do your own healing! So many people go to their MD/DO/physical therapist/chiropractor/massage therapist, etc. and expect that that person is going to be able to heal them completely. I often tell my clients who have chronic conditions (health related issues which last a long time) that even if they come for massage three times a week, they won't see the kinds of improvements they want until they're willing to do their own work to improve (be that stretching, doing their own massage, eating right, ice/heat, etc.). So congratulations on your willingness to do your own healing!

While I have never had multiple surgeries on the same area, I had four surgeries in a 6 year time span (including an ACL replacement in my right knee), and I understand the pain that often accompanies scar tissue.

I was fortunate with my ACL injury in that I had a surgeon who believed it was important to keep the knee moving and stretching. When I came to (from surgery), my knee was already moving in a machine called a CPM unit (Continuous Passive Movement - delivered by Colorado Professional Medical), which allowed me to set the speed and degree of the angle which my knee was moved to. It constantly moved my leg up and down, bending the knee each time. When I got home, I automatically started using the CPM unit again, which had been delivered to my house and which the delivery person had taught me how to use prior to surgery. I increased the speed and angle of degree every day and stopped using the CPM unit one week after surgery, because I had gotten back the full range of movement which the CPM unit allowed for (120 degrees). It was about 6 months after my knee surgery when I learned that some orthopedic knee surgeons believe in keeping the knee immobile for up to a month after ACL surgery. I was surprised and disappointed to hear this because keeping the knee immobile for that long of a time is setting the person up for a longer (and often more difficult) recovery.

Scar tissue develops all the time in muscle. When you pull muscles, some amount of scarring can occur. That scar tissue can be gotten rid of through normal stretching and activity. However, when serious scar tissue develops (as is often the case in whiplash and surgery) it can take a lot more to get that tissue to be reabsorbed into the body. If it is not gotten rid of, it can cause numbness of the nerves in an area, decreased flexibility, and ultimately, pain.

Many people think that scar tissue will simply go away after time, but most often, it does not. It is an injury which needs to be worked with in order to re-heal as effectively as possible.

Healing, depending on whom you talk to, is a complex process. Some people believe that prayer alone will heal, while others believe that only pills and western medicine will heal. Some have great success with acupuncture, others with chiropractic, and others with nutrition. I believe that healing is a combination of all of these things.

What I offer here is advice on how to massage scar tissue, with the hope that you will be able to use it and effectively break up your scar tissue. I hope this works for you, and hope as well that you will let me know your results. I hope you'll incorporate whatever else works for you, as that will help speed up your healing. Also, a point I'll make is that massage is all hands-on, so describing it using a non hands-on medium like email or the Internet is a bit difficult; I'll do my best, but if there's something you don't understand, please email me.

There are two levels of scar tissue which you can address with massage. One is the skin level, and the other is the muscle level. I will first address the skin level, and then address the muscle level.

When scar tissue develops, the brain/nerve connections, which have to happen to detect touch, never develop or develop very weak. This is because scar tissue develops primarily to heal and protect, and only secondarily to feel sensation. In other words, the tissue naturally develops a weak ability to notice sensation while it is being created. Because most people don't use or touch a part of the body which had a kind of trauma to it, (like that which comes from surgery or a car accident,) the tissue doesn't receive any stimulation. This means that in many cases (after surgery or other trauma), the secondary function of scar tissue, sensation, never or barely develops. Over time, this lack of sensation causes an area to be touched less (after all, why would a person touch an area that had no feeling?). It receives less touch, and because of this, it receives less stimulation, which means that the nerve endings and connections develop less, which means that the area has less feeling, so it is touched less; and the process goes on until there is a thick mass of non-sensory tissue, most of it probably scar tissue.

I have larger scars on two of my fingers (from surgery). While sitting in class or somewhere where I only need to listen to what's going on, I will take a sharpened pencil, paper clip, nail file, or even a needle (something with a small point), to see what kind of feeling I have in a specific spot on the scar. I will really pay attention to what kinds of sensations I'm having in the spot that I'm touching. I don't pierce the skin, as that would only cause further injury to a healing area, but I do test to see how much sensation I have. I have done this since having surgery over 8 years ago. Over time, the sensations have become stronger and more definite in the scar tissue itself, and as the sensation has come back, the scar tissue has been reduced (not gone away), and become much less painful. It probably also helps that I am a massage therapist, and while working on a client, I use the sensations coming from my hands to understand when a muscle is tight, or when it has knots, etc. I pay a lot of attention to the sensations coming from my fingers.

For the skin level on a knee, you will want to work on the scar itself. Touch it with an object with a small point in several specific spots on and around the scar. Can you feel the sensation? If not, start by going around the edge of the scar. Can you feel that sensation? Notice what it feels like. Does it make a difference if you press hard or light? What about if you move it around a little?

Set an intention that you want to feel sensation in that specific point you are touching. By doing this, and focusing your attention on it, you are forcing your brain and your body to focus in on the sensory information you should be receiving from those nerves. Just like working to develop more flexibility by stretching the same muscles over an extended amount of time, you are working to develop those nerves on a daily basis by using different kinds of touch. Over time, you will redevelop more feeling in the area than you previously had.

Moving on to the deeper layers, it is important to know that just as scar tissue develops on the outside layers of the skin, it develops in the muscle. Muscle can be divided into two groups with regard to scar tissue; areas which can be worked through direct massage, and those which are much more difficult to work with using massage. Most massage therapists have developed an ability to work at a deep level within the muscle that most non massage therapists have not. For the areas which are difficult to get to when doing massage yourself, I would recommend getting into a regular stretching program and getting regular massage. Most recreation/fitness centers now offer Yoga classes. If yours doesn't offer Yoga or another kind of stretching program, ask them why they don't, and consider joining one that does.

Also, consider getting regular scar tissue massage for a while. If you don't know a good massage therapist, ask a friend who gets regular massage, or even look up a CMT in the phone book. You can find criteria for selecting a massage therapist by clicking here. You may have to take some time researching, but it will be worth it when you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable, and schedule an appointment. Massage can range from $20 to upwards of $300/hour. The cost doesn't necessarily determine the quality of the massage, so don't think you have to pay an arm and a leg to get a great massage. Let the therapist know your wants with regard to getting your scar tissue broken up, and they should be able to help you.

Another thing to consider (when getting massage for a trauma area) is that the muscles around the area will be tightening up in protection of the injury. In the case of a knee surgery, this would be the quadriceps, hamstrings muscles, calf muscles, and all the muscles on the anterior (front) side of the lower leg. A therapist should know to work these muscles, and you can rub them yourself as well to help keep them loose.

On to the level of scar tissue in the muscle that you can work yourself, cross-fiber technique can be very effective. If your scar tissue is right over the knee cap you'll probably have to lift it up off of the knee and squeeze it between your thumbs and forefingers to get to it. However, if it is in a more substantial set of muscle (lower quads), you will be able to work your fingers across the muscle and use a cross-fiber technique on the muscle (or have someone do this for you).

Cross-Fibering

Start by using a cream, lotion, or oil (I personally recommend Lotus Touch cream, available from http://www.lotustouch.com) and use it on the area you want to work. Skinstore.com also sells a few creams and gels, which have been reported to help considerably to diminish the tightness and the overall thickness of scar tissue. Remember that you are using the massage cream to allow your hands or a tool to more easily move across the skin, so if the skin soaks all of it up, you may need to reapply. You will then want to work across the muscle fibers. In the case of the muscles around the knee: as you are standing, most of the muscle fibers go up and down, so you will want to work across the leg. You can use massage tools and/or implements to get into the muscle deeply and work across the muscle, or you can use your hands. One good hand position is to bend the middle and ring fingers and use the second knuckle (closest knuckle to the hand-but not the knuckle joining the hand) on the middle and ring fingers, to get into the muscle fibers of the quads/calves, while the second and pinky fingers are straight and glide across the leg. Move up and down the muscle, making sure to focus on areas where it feels like there is more binding of the tissues. You can finish by doing a gentle massage on the area to calm it down. This is one possibility for cross-fibering.

Whatever hand position or tool you use with cross-fibering, remember that your goal is to break up the scar tissue by going across the muscle, and remember that this isn't going to happen overnight. By using cross-fibering, you are actually causing minor traumas to an area which promote the healing in that area. You don't want to re-injure the area to the point where more scar tissue develops because of your working on it. A generally good way to know how much pressure is enough is that it should be on the level between uncomfortable and painful. So it should be uncomfortable, but not overly painful. As far as the time it takes for healing, a good general guideline is that you should give the scar tissue as long to break up (if you're working on it daily) as it did for it to be created. In other words, if you had surgery two years ago, and you just started working with the scar tissue yesterday, large improvements could take up to two years from yesterday. Healing doesn't have to take this long, but this should give you an idea of how patient you should be.

In summary:

Work with the scar as often as you think about it.
It is possible to overwork an area, but not likely that you will with the scar tissue.

Use heat to bring blood to an area, cold to take blood away from an area.
Generally speaking, you will want to take the blood away from an area before you work with scar tissue so that it will hurt less to work with it (the cold of ice will also numb the nerves so you can work with the scar tissue). You will then want to work with the tissue that is deeper in the muscle, using cross-fibering, while it is cold. When you are done, you will want to heat the area to bring blood in and carry away the toxins which are released as you break up the scar tissue and open up the area. (Too much time with the heat can cause an abundance of blood in an area, which can cause swelling and a different kind of pain. Generally, 20-30 minutes with the heat is a safe bet.) You will want to use moist heat if possible (i.e. a wet washcloth warmed up in the microwave or something comparable), as it will draw more fluids to the area and encourage the muscle to return to its natural state. (Don't get the heat so hot that it burns you.)

Working with the scar tissue may hurt initially.

Pain should decrease over time, but may not fully go away. Be prepared for this, but don't psyche yourself out. It does get better.

You can do the work yourself

You can have great results just from working on the scar tissue yourself. You will be most successful if you will work on it yourself because you are the only one who is with you 24 hours a day, so you can be there all the time to work on it. However, just like it feels better to get a massage from someone else than it does to give yourself one, you may experience good results from someone else working on you as well. Just make sure that you communicate with them (and that they are willing to listen) when there is too much pain, or not enough pressure, etc. Also, there may be cases where you can not reach the scar tissue (i.e. back surgery. If this is the case, have someone else work with you, and get into a regular stretching program). Caveat: Make sure you say thank you to the person who is helping take care of you. They're much more likely to help again.

Nutrition is important.

Eating well can have a huge impact on how quickly the body will heal. With regard to scar tissue, nutrition plays an important role in how quickly the body will be able to develop feeling in an area and breakdown the scar tissue. It needs the vitamins and minerals to build tissue, create chemical connections, and carry away toxins.

Be patient.

The human organism is amazing in what it can do, if given the time and resources it needs to do so. If you re-injure the area by doing more than it can handle (i.e. bungee-jumping two weeks after surgery), don't expect your body to respond well.

Be patient!

Common and Severe Ankylosing Spondylitis Symptoms


Ankylosing spondylitis is swelling mainly of your joints within the spinal column. However it may also include soreness of your eyes, some other joints, particularly all those within the hips, chest, and all over the heels. On some instances, the feet, shoulders, hands, knees and wrists also get sore.. Though it is uncommon, ankylosing spondylitis symptoms are also able to trigger changes such as thickening of the aorta or the major artery as well as the valve inside the heart known as the aortic valve.

When the inflammation persists after some time, it is going to bring about permanent scarring and damage. In several individuals the condition is usually light and advances gradually. The signs and symptoms will never become critical. Some people might have a more intense condition progression.

Whether or not ankylosing spondylitis symptoms become more serious are determined by several factors like the age of when you started to experience the disease, how soon it was clinically determined, and which joints are concerned. It really is too soon to know yet, however specialists believe that fast cure using more recent medications will decrease or lessen the soreness, avoid scar tissue formation, and restrict the advancement of the ailment.

The signs of this disease normally begin with irregular rounds of pain on your lower back area, having both discomfort and tightness getting intense at nighttime, on getting up, or in times of inactivity. On the other hand, indications usually get better through physical exercise. Even though pain is originally centered within the sacroiliac joints that are lying between your spine and pelvis, it could spread out to other sections of your backbone as time passes.

Common and Minor Symptoms

You could encounter ankylosing spondylitis symptoms everyday or occasionally. Sometimes some of these signs and symptoms may be acute:

繚 Fatigue or Tiredness

繚 Lumbar region or sacroiliac pain

繚 Neck pain

繚 Eventual reduction of spinal flexibility

繚 Eventual loss of mobility particularly the range of flexibility within the joint

繚 Hip pain

繚 Stiffness in the spine

繚 Intense pain and tightness along with inactivity

The following are other manifestations of this disease which are less common even during its advance stage. Some people encounter these from time to time.

• Uveitis or inflammation of the eyes

• Heel pain

• Lack of appetite

• Mild fever

• Painful and inflamed shoulder, knee or ankle

• Sudden weight loss

However, there are more serious indications which may reveal a life-threatening situation. This means that immediate medical attention is required. While ankylosing spondylitis is not fatal by itself, the injury to your joints could predispose to bone fracture or even damage to your spine. Below are the serious warnings of this disease.

• Fecal and urinary incontinence

• Numbness and weakness of the extremities

• Acute pain on your joints and lower back

These ankylosing spondylitis symptoms seem to be manageable. However, if any of these gets out of hand or becomes chronic, you need to consult your doctor for proper medical assistance.

Knee Braces For Large People - Here's How to Find the Correct One!


Are you looking for a knee support? - Do you realize that you also need one that is designed for people who are a bit larger?

Introduction: Let's face it. Not all people are made the same way. Some of us are larger than others and as a result, we will need to find a knee support that will match our size. So now what? How Do you find that knee support? Who has the best one for your knee's needs? - Let's bring you some free information here that will make everything more clear. Read on...

1.) Despite Your Size You Can Find A Brace That Will Provide Great Support

Here is how you determine your size. We will now provide you with three important measurements that you need to take...

First, find a tape measure. You may even have one at your home. (The ones that have inches labeled on one side and centimeters labeled on the opposite side.)

Next, locate the center of your knee cap. (Sometimes it is best to take your fingers and trace the outside of your knee cap, and then take another finger and divide the space in two equal pieces.)

2.) Now Here Comes The Important Part!

Take 3 measurements of your leg. These will be circumference measurements. Here is what you will need to determine your size...

A.) Take a measurement 6" above your knee center (Remember, a circumference measurement.) 6" is also equal to about 15cm, so you can measure out your distance that way too.

B.) Now take a circumference measurement at your knee center (with your knee straight). This can be done while you are sitting down or standing, but just remember that the knee joint should not be bent, or you might get an incorrect measurement of your size, per brace manufacturers standards.

C.) Lastly, you will need to take a circumference measurement 6" (or 15cm) below your knee center.

Record all of your answers. It helps to write it all down, instead of trying to memorize the measurements sometimes.

3.) Looking At Your Measurements Effectively

You will find that the circumference measurement 6" above your knee is the standard measurement to find your size. However, if you are a larger individual, like I am, then you will also need to make sure you take the other two measurements. We are not standard size people, so our calves might be bigger than most, or our knee circumference might be bigger than most. These other two measurements can prove to be effective when you are looking at a sizing chart.

Arthritis Knee Brace - Is it Right For You?


One of the most common areas afflicted with arthritis are knee joints, and the use of arthritis knee braces is an age old method of controlling the debilitating pain that comes with arthritis. Arthritis knee braces help reduce the pressure from the knee and leg, ultimately aligning the leg in the correct position to lessen the impact of arthritis pain.

Arthritis knee braces come in two broad categories - custom made and off the shelf. "Off the shelf" pertains to selecting the appropriate braces from a ready-made collection, whereas "custom made" pertains to having braces designed based on distinctive specifications and addressing the patient's unique knee requirements. Obviously, custom made braces are more expensive than the off the shelf type. However, a custom made brace is considerably better, as it is designed to suit the patient's specific needs. Along with knee braces, footwear choice is also important in determining the amount of pressure on the knees. The type of shoes a patient wears may either improve or worsen the pain correspondingly.

In addition to these two broad types, arthritis knee braces may also be grouped into four classifications.

An off loader knee brace, otherwise known as an unloader, is generally used to provide knee alignment. These braces provide knee support by reducing the valgus or varus stress from the knees, or the irregular mechanical alignment on one side of the knee.

Prophylactic braces, meanwhile, are used mostly by patients who suffer from knee injuries, usually sports injuries.

On the other hand, rehabilitative braces are used to improve lateral and medial movements. These braces also help to control the extension and flexing of the knee joint following a knee injury or a related surgery.

OA knee braces, as their name suggests, are used specifically by Osteoarthritis (OA) patients. These braces reduce pain by enabling proper alignment.

In general, these braces are an affordable and effective way of controlling knee joint pain. They have been proven to work for a number of arthritis knee patients. However, there is still some debate over their effectiveness.

Some medical experts would argue that braces are merely a temporary solution to a long-term problem, and often just delay the possibility of surgical knee replacements. The support of arthritis knee braces tend to weaken the knee and leg muscles, and may ultimately lead to permanent weakness and even further deteriorate the patient's condition.

Conversely, a number of users attest that when used regularly, these braces are effective in providing proper alignment, managing body weight on the knees, and even reducing pain significantly.

Ideally, the results of the brace depend on the merits of each case and should not be generalized. The patient's body constitution, overall health, and the extent of arthritis present, among a number of other factors, may have an impact on the results of knee brace usage.

In selecting the right knee braces for you, always keep your own requirements in mind. The specific type of brace you need will depend on the extent of your pain or the severity of your condition. The more serious the injury or pain, the bigger the braces you need. Off the shelf braces are just as effective as custom made ones, unless you have a specific pain/area to target or a quite uncommon knee shape.

It is always recommended that you consult a doctor first to determine the appropriate brace applicable to your condition. Always consult a qualified doctor prior to undergoing any form of treatment, whether medication or alternative therapies or knee braces.

Brief Introduction to Surgery Games


Online and offline games are a craze these days with kids and adult alike. Some people spend more hours playing games than working for livelihood. Currently, operation and surgery games are the current favorite. In these, the player becomes a virtual surgeon and performs all kinds of surgeries of their choice.

They are played as:

Board Games- This surgery game requires the player to remove objects from the body of the patient without creating any impact on the patient. Sponge bob's Barnacle Brain, Homer Simpson, Cavity Sam, and Patty Pleasure are some of the popular ones.

PC Games- These games show the inner world of Emergency Rooms from a close perspective.

Console Games- This surgery game require the player to perform surgeries to increase game levels.

Below are some descriptions of popular surgery games played online:

1. Open Heart Surgery- The player performs heart by-pass operation and tries to prevent blood vessel blockage.
2. Heart Operation- It means performing heart transplant, fixing heart valves, or doing by-pass surgery. Procedures are length and can scare the faint hearted too.
3. Knee Surgery- Done on sport persons needing knee transplant or installing metal knees. Sometimes, they are accompanied with questions to be answered before progressing. It provides loads of information on knee surgery.
4. Hip Replacement- Like knee surgery, this game provides patients with new hips to athletes. This game is as engrossing as knee surgery and the procedure is as detailed as before.
5. Dental Games- Fighting tooth decay, tooth cavity, extracting molars, or even root canalling are some of the game features.
6. Simple Operation- This game is suitable for beginners. Player has 10 levels to attain and they have to search for objects placed in the patient's body. No particular body part is focused; it is an overall search operation.
