Antes de la operaci\u00f3n de pr\u00f3tesis de cadera, David Kent apretaba los dientes y jadeaba de dolor al entrar en el coche para ir a trabajar. Llegaba cojeando a la oficina, a veces le costaba levantarse o sentarse y ya no pod\u00eda disfrutar de muchas de las actividades f\u00edsicas que le hab\u00edan gustado toda la vida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Y activo que era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lanz\u00f3 y atrap\u00f3 para el equipo de b\u00e9isbol de su instituto, jug\u00f3 al f\u00fatbol en la universidad (fue al Occidental College, donde conoci\u00f3 al futuro Presidente Barack Obama), fue tenista, submarinista, excursionista y, durante 17 a\u00f1os, jugador de softball de competici\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A los 60 a\u00f1os, las articulaciones de David se estaban desgastando y el dolor era casi constante. Tomaba 800 mg de ibuprofeno al d\u00eda para sobrevivir, daba vueltas en la cama por la noche y no pod\u00eda hacer las cosas que m\u00e1s le gustaban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Huelga decir que mis caderas estaban en muy mal estado\", afirma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decidido a hacer un cambio, asisti\u00f3 a un seminario gratuito en l\u00ednea sobre Cirug\u00eda asistida por brazo rob\u00f3tico Mako <\/a>con Dr. Joseph Lifrak<\/a>cirujano ortop\u00e9dico de Southcoast Health especializado en pr\u00f3tesis de rodilla. Aunque David ten\u00eda fuertes dolores de rodilla, el problema m\u00e1s acuciante era que necesitaba que le sustituyeran las dos caderas antes de poder operarse las rodillas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tras el seminario, se reuni\u00f3 con el cirujano ortop\u00e9dico de Southcoast Health Dr. Christopher Skeehan<\/a>que le present\u00f3 el sistema de cirug\u00eda asistida por brazo rob\u00f3tico Mako. Este sistema permitir\u00eda al cirujano planificar y ejecutar la pr\u00f3tesis de cadera con mayor precisi\u00f3n, reducir el n\u00famero de cortes que tendr\u00eda que realizar y limitar el da\u00f1o a los tejidos, tendones y ligamentos circundantes. Esto permitir\u00eda a David volver a ponerse en pie -y a llevar una vida muy activa- m\u00e1s r\u00e1pidamente y sin complicaciones quir\u00fargicas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lo habl\u00f3 con su esposa Linda, decidi\u00f3 adelgazar 15 kilos para acelerar la recuperaci\u00f3n y se someti\u00f3 a la primera artroplastia de cadera el pasado mes de junio. La operaci\u00f3n dur\u00f3 dos horas y media, y pas\u00f3 una noche en el hospital. Utiliz\u00f3 un andador durante dos d\u00edas, un bast\u00f3n durante tres, tom\u00f3 Tylenol para controlar el dolor y volvi\u00f3 al trabajo tras dos semanas de fisioterapia en la cl\u00ednica de rehabilitaci\u00f3n Southcoast Health de Fall River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El pasado mes de diciembre le sustituyeron la segunda cadera en una operaci\u00f3n ambulatoria que dur\u00f3 menos de dos horas. Esa noche, dijo, estaba de vuelta en su casa de Newport (Rhode Island), donde pod\u00eda subir las escaleras sin ayuda. La elevaci\u00f3n y la aplicaci\u00f3n de hielo en la cadera y la pierna redujeron al m\u00ednimo la inflamaci\u00f3n y el dolor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al cabo de dos semanas, estaba de vuelta en su puesto de trabajo gestionando las ventas de Ryan Herco Flow Solutions, un importante distribuidor nacional de sistemas de control de fluidos con oficina en Coventry, RI. En oto\u00f1o le reemplazar\u00e1n la rodilla izquierda, tambi\u00e9n con el sistema quir\u00fargico Mako.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David se someti\u00f3 a un total de unas seis semanas de rehabilitaci\u00f3n -montar en bicicleta est\u00e1tica, hacer elevaciones de piernas y movimientos est\u00e1ticos para mejorar la movilidad- desde las dos operaciones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fue cuesti\u00f3n de semanas\" que recuperara entre el 90 y el 95% de sus funciones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David dijo que le impresion\u00f3 mucho la coordinaci\u00f3n del equipo quir\u00fargico de Southcoast Health con los fisioterapeutas y su m\u00e9dico de atenci\u00f3n primaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Nunca me hab\u00eda impresionado tanto la coordinaci\u00f3n de la administraci\u00f3n, la cirug\u00eda, la fisioterapia\", todo conectado por una app, dijo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoy, \u00e9l y su mujer caminan 5 km varios d\u00edas a la semana, y \u00e9l va al gimnasio a montar en bicicleta est\u00e1tica y a hacer ejercicios de piernas y brazos. Dentro de unos meses espera volver a jugar al tenis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahora, con 64 a\u00f1os, Linda y \u00e9l est\u00e1n deseando retirarse a una casa en Arizona para estar m\u00e1s cerca de la familia, despu\u00e9s de una carrera que le hizo cruzar el pa\u00eds y volver varias veces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ahora no tengo dolor, camino perfectamente y dir\u00eda que estoy casi recuperado al 100 por cien. Soy un fan de la cirug\u00eda rob\u00f3tica\", dice David. \"No tengo m\u00e1s que gratitud para toda la organizaci\u00f3n. Dominan este proceso\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
