Newtown, CT, March 2009.........

Sanjay K. Gupta, MD, a physician and orthopaedic surgeon with Orthopaedic Specialists of Connecticut in Brookfield, will present the informational program.  Dr. Gupta, a specialist in treating hip and knee arthritis in all age groups, will discuss what you can do to help prevent osteoarthritis of the hip.  He will also outline non-surgical and surgical treatments that are available to ease the pain and stiffness if hip arthritis is diagnosed.
