Three physician offices in East Des Moines , West Des Moines and Carroll,
Iowa are the latest medical facilities to join the ranks of the growing
list of facilities performing the Ertl Procedure.
The Barr Foundation and ErtlReconstruction.com welcomes Des Moines
Orthopedic Surgeons (DEMOS) and Dr. Matthew Weresh, M.D. whom recently
performed the procedure on Ron Smith a 6 1 300 lb construction worker
whom lost his limb to a motorcycle accident last Feb 2006.
Dr. Weresh is the first orthopaedic surgeon with specialty training in
trauma/fracture care to serve the Central Iowa area.
His research in this field has resulted in several articles and
presentations at the national level. He also has interests in joint
replacement surgery, shoulder surgery, athletic injuries and general
orthopaedics.
Ron Smith was fortunate to have prosthetist and promoter of the procedure,
JONAS CHLADEK to not only recommend the procedure and show Dr. Weresh the
Ertl Surgical DVD, but also to accompany the surgeon in the operating room
while the procedure was being performed.
Prosthetic outcomes for amputees haven't improved over the past 40 years,
according to a new study by a team from the Rochester, MN-based Mayo
Clinic.Surgical techniques that fail to anticipate an amputee's functional
needs are in part to blame for a disappointing lack of improvement in
prosthetic outcomes over the last four decades. But a new generation of
surgeons is working to reverse this trend. BioMechanics February 2003 By:
Charles Kupperman
Prosthetists, whom recognize the benefits of the procedure and advantages to
achieving positive prosthetic outcomes, are the major reason surgeons are
considering the Ertl as a viable option to 'standard amputation surgery.
More info on Dr. Weresh and other surgeons currently performing the
procedure nationwide can be found at www.ErtlReconstruction.com .
