Dr. Werle Performs First Polymotion® Hip Resurfacing Case at Rockyview General Hospital, Calgary

Last week marked a significant milestone in orthopaedic surgery at Rockyview General Hospital in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Dr. Jason Werle, President of the Canadian Arthroplasty Society and a highly regarded orthopaedic surgeon with extensive experience in hip and knee reconstructive procedures, successfully performed his first Polymotion® Hip Resurfacing (PHR®) case with the assisting expertise of Dr. Jim MacKenzie.

Tim Band from JointMedica, who supported the training, shared his experience: “It was incredibly rewarding to reconnect with Dr. Werle and discuss our PHR® device. Observing Dr. Werle in his OR was a true privilege, evoking memories of the early introduction of the Birmingham Hip◊ Resurfacing (BHR◊), where the excitement of possibility was unmistakable.”

Dr. Werle is now poised to bring the benefits of Polymotion® Hip Resurfacing to his patients. This milestone underscores the commitment of JointMedica and Medlines to advancing hip resurfacing technology through surgeon collaboration and hands-on training.
