JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Feb. 27, 2018) Capt. Michael Robinson, an orthopedic surgeon at Naval Hospital Jacksonville, reviews Catherine Baker’s recovery from same-day hip replacement surgery, at her one-month follow-up visit on Feb. 27. Robinson performed Navy Medicine’s first same-day hip replacement at NH Jacksonville with Baker on Jan. 23. He has performed several more outpatient hip and knee replacement surgeries since. Doing the procedure on a same-day, outpatient basis offers benefits to patients when it’s medically appropriate. (U.S. Navy photo by Jacob Sippel, Naval Hospital Jacksonville/Released).
