Surgical approaches<\/h2>\n

Always with the goal of improving patient comfort<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the beginning of his academic practice, Dr. Laflamme has devoted a significant portion of his time to clinical research, with improving the quality of patient care as his primary mission. Through his creative spirit, he has developed several new surgical techniques that optimize clinical outcomes while minimizing complications. He also developed an innovative technology, the Y3 plate, specifically designed to stabilize fractures associated with hip prostheses.<\/p>\n

Always with the goal of improving patient comfort, he was among the first in Quebec to use minimally invasive surgical approaches for joint replacements. In 2017, he implemented the ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) program, which aims to reduce surgical stress in order to accelerate recovery for patients undergoing hip or knee replacement.<\/p>\n
