After Ten Years, Knee Replacement Still Going Strong
August 16, 2016"What Dr. Jones did for me was really remarkable."
Already suffering from an arthritic left knee, DC Gilley added to his misery after he tore his meniscus and developed severe swelling in the joint. When he was no longer able to tolerate the pain, he went to see
orthopedic
surgeon Dr. Kevin Jones.
The board-certified Beaufort Memorial physician discovered Gilley had a septic infection in his knee, a serious medical condition that can lead to rapid destruction of the cartilage and bone. After 12 days in the hospital and four months of therapy, Gilley was healthy enough to have a total knee replacement.
"What Dr. Jones did for me was really remarkable," the 75-year-old Beaufort attorney says. "It's been 10 years and I'm still going strong. It was a fantastic outcome."
An expert in minimally invasive joint replacement, Dr. Jones continues to stay at the forefront of
orthopedic
medicine, mastering innovative techniques and procedures to ensure the best possible results for his patients.
