Uncommon hip replacement surgery puts golfer back on the links in 32 days
2 NORTHWESTERN LAKE FOREST HOSPITAL
Anterior hip replacement, an alternative approach to traditional hip replacement surgery, is helping patients recover faster and with less pain. Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital is one of a few hospitals in Illinois to offer the procedure, performed by board-certified orthopaedic surgeon Peter Thadani, MD. That was good news for Tom Klein, an active golfer and skier. At just 50 years old, he began experiencing debilitating pain in his hip—and the possibility of losing the activities he loves.
SPRING 2013 3
Anterior solution eases concernsTotal hip replacement requires replacing the upper end of the
thighbone (the femur) with a durable, biocompatible metal ball
and socket. In the United States, most orthopaedic surgeons are
trained on a posterior approach to hip replacement, meaning
they operate from the back side of the hip. However, the anterior
approach—replacing the hip bones from the front—involves less
cutting into muscle, which means less pain and faster recovery.
While the anterior approach has been the common method in
Europe for over 50 years, it was introduced in the United States
only in the last decade and is still not widely practiced.
Like many patients facing hip replacement, Klein had some
concerns about the effects of hip replacement surgery. He had
heard “horror stories” about infection, pain and waiting long
periods before regaining full functionality. He knew that the
surgery was safe and effective, but hoped for an even better
solution. So when a friend told him that anterior hip replacement
is the least invasive and painful approach, he began looking for
a surgeon.
“I was relieved to find that Dr. Thadani performs this procedure,
right near home at Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital,“ he says.
“My three kids were born there, so I knew it was a great place,
with amazing staff.”
“ The pain was really manageable. I started golfing about a month later and planned our next family ski trip.” — TOM KLEIN
A constant painTom Klein lives in Libertyville with his wife Barbara and their
children Nicole, 19, Eric, 17 and Callie, 13. And he has been
living with something else for the last five years: constant pain
in his hip.
“It was always there … when I walked, when I slept, when I
woke up, when I went to work and when I golfed,” recalls Klein.
“There were times when the pain almost caused me to fall over.”
Klein, a sales executive with Rotary Paper Manifold, grew up
playing tennis but learned to love golf later in life. He also took
up skiing and treasures the skiing trips he takes with his family.
A healthy and relatively young man, he was surprised at feeling
severe pain in his hip, even though he had never been injured.
He visited his physician and was diagnosed with arthritis. He also
learned that even prescription medication would do little to control
the pain, and he would likely need total hip replacement surgery.
But Klein wasn’t ready for that. Over the next three years, he
managed to keep up with his usual activities, always gritting his
teeth to get through the pain. A skiing trip in February of 2012
was a turning point.
“It was the first time it hurt during the activity and not just
after,“ he recalls. “The pain was killing me, and I said ‘uncle.’ I
just couldn’t keep grinding through each day. My quality of life
had really deteriorated. Mentally, I was ready.”

“ With anterior hip replacement surgery, the patient experiences more immediate benefits because it requires less disruption and trauma to the surrounding tissue.” — PETER THADANI, MD
One of a handful of surgeonsDr. Thadani is one of a few orthopaedic surgeons in Lake County who
regularly performs anterior hip replacement surgery and one of the small
handful of surgeons in Illinois. In his 14 years of practice specializing in hip
and knee replacements, he has observed the outcomes of both traditional
posterior hip replacement and anterior hip replacement.
“In my opinion, anterior is the preferred approach,” explains Dr. Thadani.
“The traditional posterior approach is a good surgery, and both have a
90 percent success rate. But with anterior, the patient experiences more
immediate benefits because it requires less disruption and trauma to the
surrounding tissue. That means less pain, and risk of complications is lower
because we can use real-time X-rays to guide the procedure. You can’t do
that with posterior because of how the patient must be positioned.”
To offer anterior hip replacement, Dr. Thadani acquired additional
classroom and laboratory training and an apprenticeship. He also arranged
to have a surgeon experienced with the anterior approach fly in to assist
with his first surgery.
“Anterior hip replacement is still a major operation,” he says. “But patients
are thrilled with the fast recovery and having less pain than they expected.”
Compared with traditional posterior
hip replacement (operating from
the back of the hip), anterior (front)
hip replacement offers immediate
benefits:
• Lessinvasiveincisions
• Lesstraumatosurroundingtissue
reduces pain
• Fasterrecoverytimeandreturnto
formeractivities
• Fewerpostoperativemovement
restrictions (bending, twisting,

• EnablesX-rayguidedsurgery,
which reduces complications such
as differences in leg length. The
anterior approach also reduces
the risk of dislocation.

Benefits of anterior hip replacement surgery
6 NORTHWESTERN LAKE FOREST HOSPITAL
Hitting the links—and slopes—againAfter having his surgery in April of 2012, Klein experienced the
benefits first hand. Traditional hip replacement surgeries can
require extensive rehabilitation, and patients must avoid simple
movements like crossing legs or bending over to tie shoes. They
often rely on reach extenders (“grabbers”) at home and may stay
on strong pain medication for weeks after surgery. While it can
take up to three months to return to some activities, Klein was
back on the golf course within 32 days.
“I came out on crutches, not in a wheelchair,” he says. “I
did what I was supposed to do, staying careful and doing my
exercises. But I didn't feel restricted. I felt strong, and the pain
was really manageable—I didn’t need any of the prescription
pain meds. I started golfing about a month later and planned
our next family ski trip.”
Klein credits the anterior hip replacement surgery with his
recovery. But access to an advanced surgical option was not the
only factor in his decision. “If I hadn’t really liked Dr. Thadani, I
would have gone elsewhere,” he says. “You have to like your
guy, and he and the hospital staff did a great job. I feel fantastic,
and it has been a while since I’ve been able to say that.”

“ My heart had always been a ticking time bomb—I just didn't know it. Trusting Dr. Benge’s years of experience saved me from having a heart attack.” — Craig Johnson
WHEN HEART DISEASE SNEAKS UP
Unexpected test saves a man from the silent killer
8 NORTHWESTERN LAKE FOREST HOSPITAL
Craig Johnson, 60, of Mundelein, Illinois has a family history that gave clear warning: both of his grandfathers had died from heart attacks, and his mother had a heart attack as well. However, Johnson never had any signs or symptoms and no prior test results that indicated heart disease. So when he began feeling fatigued and had trouble keeping up with his wife on bike rides, he chalked it up to being “old and out of shape.”
But the truth was that one of Johnson’s main arteries was heavily clogged.
His blood was struggling to circulate, and he was at high risk for having
a deadly heart attack. Luckily, an alert physician and quick, expert cardiac
care at Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital led to treatment that prevented
surgery and likely saved Johnson’s life.
OFFICE VISIT LEADS TO SURPRISE TEST RESULTUnrelated to his heart, Johnson had begun having some trouble
and discomfort with swallowing and made an appointment with his
gastroenterologist. As a matter of routine before further testing, his
physician ordered a stress test for Johnson. The stress test results indicated
a potential problem, which led to a coronary angiogram performed by
Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital cardiologist William Benge, MD, FACC.
It was after regaining full consciousness following the procedure that Johnson
was shocked to learn that he had a 70 to 80 percent blockage in one of his
major arteries and that—without treatment—he would have been at serious
risk for a heart attack in the next six months.
“Dr. Benge was really emphatic and convinced me that we needed
to check for blockage after my stress test results,” said Johnson, 60.
“Thankfully I listened to him, and he was able to open the blocked artery
and have me home after a short stay in the hospital for observation.”
“As in Craig’s case, heart disease often reveals no symptoms,” said Benge,
who specializes in interventional cardiology. “The so-called ‘silent killer’
sneaks up on millions of people, which is why heart disease remains the
number one cause of death for both men and women in America and
throughout the world.”
SPRING 2013 9
ANGIOGRAM, ANGIOPLASTY—HOW THEY WORKTo check the flow of blood to and from the heart, Benge
performed a coronary angiogram on Johnson at the advanced
cardiac catheterization lab at Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital.
During an angiogram, a catheter is guided through an artery to
the heart to view blood flow through the artery. X-ray images
record the blood flow through the coronary arteries and show
how the heart is pumping blood. The doctor views these images
in real-time to find where the blockage exists.
Once Johnson’s blockage was detected, Benge performed an
angioplasty—threading a thin, flexible tube from the groin to
the damaged artery, where a small balloon inflates the blocked
artery to reopen it, and a metal coil called a stent is placed in the
artery to help keep it open.
AVOIDING MAJOR HEART SURGERYMore and more, cardiac patients can be treated with less invasive
treatments—and often on an outpatient basis—that make
surgery unnecessary. Angioplasty is one of several procedures
performed at Northwestern Lake Forest's advanced cardiac
catheterization lab, including the diagnosis and treatment
of irregular heart rhythms and managing the intricacies of
pacemakers and defibrillators.
The Northwestern Lake Forest Cardiac Rehabilitation Program
complements the cardiac treatment and services and minimizes
the effects of cardiac illness through monitored exercise, risk
management and nutritional counseling. Additionally, the Bluhm
Cardiovascular Institute in Lake Forest brings the extensive
clinical and research experience from the Bluhm Cardiovascular
Institute of Northwestern Memorial Hospital to the treatment of
patients in Lake County.
“I was really fortunate with the care I received. The first doctor
did the right thing when he noticed that something was not
right, and Dr. Benge did the right thing in spelling out to me
the serious risk of heart attack,” said Johnson. “This experience
has taught me that you can’t fool yourself: you’ve got to be
aware that it can happen to you, particularly if you have a family
history, and you have to work hard to take care of yourself.”

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital nurse navigator Jennifer Tepper, MSN, APN, CNS, breast surgeon/oncologist Tara Breslin, MD, MS, FACS, and nurse navigator Cathy Spagnoli, MSN, APN, CNS
breast cancer surgeryA surgeon explains what you should know
Better
14 NORTHWESTERN LAKE FOREST HOSPITAL
A patient with breast cancer is referred to you. What happens next?At the initial consultation we review
the diagnosis and all of the patient’s
treatment options. Successfully
treating breast cancer patients means
understanding who is or isn’t a candidate
for the different therapies. An important
part of the consultation is discussing
what happens after surgery. The more
the patient understands the full spectrum
of care, the better her outcomes
and recovery.
How do you address concerns about pain?I start discussing the postoperative
experience well before surgery. But typically,
pain after breast cancer surgery is very
manageable, and patients are only on a
short course of narcotics followed by
over-the-counter pain medication. Other
cancer treatments, like chemotherapy, may
cause pain and discomfort. But we have a
wide variety of supportive care available
to help patients manage.
Mastectomy patients are, understandably, concerned about appearance. What do you tell them?Women have more options today for
preserving and improving appearance
during breast cancer surgery. I work with
the reconstructive or plastic surgeon
(my referral or the patient’s choice) to
determine a plan for when reconstruction,
if desired, is appropriate for their cancer
type and stage. A surgeon should also be
knowledgeable about the latest skin-
sparing techniques. It’s important that
your surgeon balance the best possible
cosmetic result without compromising
the medical, oncologic outcome.
Do surgeons who specialize in breast cancer with a high volume of surgeries also have better outcomes?Many patients are well cared for by
general surgeons and oncology surgeons,
some of whom may perform only a
low volume of breast cancer surgeries.
However, a surgeon like myself who
specializes in breast cancer surgery may
be more deeply involved in research and
the entire spectrum of multidisciplinary
care. For example, I have over 12 years
of experience exclusively performing
breast cancer surgeries and a high annual
volume. I am also deeply involved in
research and other projects aimed at
improving diagnosis and management.
You hear about independent “cancer centers.” How do these differ from hospital-based centers like Northwestern Lake Forest?Some institutions and for-profit
companies have begun describing
themselves in this way—it suggests
a “one-stop-shop” for breast cancer
patients. However, the reality is that
patients do not see these different
specialists all at once or on the same
day. It’s a longer, phased process that
varies with each patient.
However, one of the most important
factors in good breast cancer outcomes
is access to evidence based, multi-
disciplinary care (oncology, radiology,
physical therapy). At Northwestern
Lake Forest, we have an excellent
multidisciplinary team, and we offer
a convenient, full spectrum of breast
cancer care. We can also connect patients
with other advanced services at the
Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of
Northwestern University.
No one wants to receive a diagnosis of breast cancer. The good news is that having the right surgeon can make all the difference in your experience. We talked with Tara Breslin, MD, a board-certified breast surgeon, about what patients should know. Dr. Breslin recently joined Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital as medical director of the breast care program. She is an award-winning breast cancer researcher who worked as a surgeon and assistant professor in top academic medical centers for many years before joining Northwestern Lake Forest.

THE CUTTING EDGE
There was the woman beset by stubborn, difficult nausea, whose grown children were distraught by her discomfort and lack of options. Or the young mother struggling with chemotherapy symptoms while supporting a family on her own. Both patients—and many more like them—received help from Midwest Palliative & Hospice Center and are now back to their former activities.
Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital recently established a dynamic
partnership with Midwest CareCenter to offer palliative care to
patients in the hospital and after release. Palliative care improves
quality of life and longevity for patients facing serious, complex illness.
What is palliative care? Palliative care is specialized, interdisciplinary care meant to
relieve the symptoms of serious illness (pain, nausea, fatigue,
depression) and reduce the stress patients experience trying
to manage daily needs and navigate care. Like other medical
specialists, palliative care physicians receive additional fellowship
training in palliative medicine. They work with nurses, social
workers and chaplains to provide expert symptom relief as well
as support for emotional, spiritual and practical needs. The
palliative care team works alongside the patient’s physician
during treatment in the hospital. If the patient’s issues are not
satisfactorily resolved while they are in the hospital, palliative
care can be continued in the patient’s home, in a nursing
facility or in the clinic. Palliative care is typically paid for by
insurance, just like any other medical specialty the primary
physician recommends.
Midwest CareCenter is one of the foundational palliative care
programs in the country. The partnership with Northwestern
Lake Forest provides some of the most comprehensive palliative
care options in the Chicagoland area.

Palliative care manages symptoms and stress of serious illness

Not the same as hospicePalliative care is often confused with hospice, but is quite different. Although
diagnosed with a life-altering illness, many patients who receive palliative care
are expected to recover or stabilize, and they may have years ahead of them.
Palliative care is provided at the same time as the physicians try to cure or stabilize
the underlying disease. In contrast, hospice often requires patients to be at the
point where they have decided to stop chemotherapy or other attempts to treat
their disease. Additionally, Medicare defines hospice as care only for patients with
six months or less to live. Palliative care has none of these restrictions.
“One of the main differences is that we work alongside the patient’s physician
while other standard treatment is ongoing,” explains Gordon Wood, MD,
a physician board certified in palliative medicine and internal medicine and
director of Palliative Medicine and Supportive Care at Northwestern Lake Forest.
“Patients, and even some members of the medical team, confuse it with hospice.
Unfortunately, that can be a barrier to receiving this highly beneficial, extra layer
of care and support.”
But why would a trained physician request help with symptom management?
“Palliative care is like any other medical specialty,” explains Dr. Wood. “Every
physician can read an EKG, but a cardiologist might be called in for a more
complicated heart problem. Similarly, an oncologist may be well trained in cancer
treatment, but might bring in a palliative medicine specialist for expert symptom
management and patient communication. ”
Research-proven benefitsSeveral academic medical institutions have conducted major research studies on
palliative care. The New England Journal of Medicine recently published a landmark
study showing that lung cancer patients who received palliative care early on, at the
time of diagnosis, lived longer and had better-controlled symptoms.
“Palliative care makes a tremendous difference because it reduces the stress of a
major illness,” says Dr. Wood. “It also helps patients weather their treatment, and,
because they understand their illness, they make better decisions about their care.”
