David Hovis, M.D.
Dr. Hovis specializes in Sports Medicine and uses State of the Art Equipment for his surgeries and aftercare.
For my Full Knee Replacement, Dr. Hovis used a pre-surgical CAT Scan to precisely measure my knee and what size prosthesis was needed. During surgery, Dr. Hovis used probs to further record my specific anatomical information into the Mako Robotic Assisted computer treatment plan. This guided Dr. Hovis and the Robot where to remove my arthritic bone quickly, efficiently, minimized blood loss, avoided healthy tendons and ligaments, was less invasive, which cut my recovery time.
I was also sent home with a cordless, rechargeable PlasmaFlow device, which rhythmically, squeezes your calf to initially prevent blood clots after surgery. Ten days later, I used it on my surgical leg to push out inflammation and promote better, healing blood flow. That was a game changer! With excellent PT compliance, I’m was hitting golf balls and playing pickleball at 5 and 7 weeks!!!
