EVERYONE MOVES DIFFERENTLY
A TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT
SHOULD BE OPTIMIZED TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS
A ground-breaking development in the personalization of hip replacement surgery is the Optimized Positioning System (OPS™). OPS is a breakthrough technology – the first of its kind – that has revolutionized the way in which orthopedic surgeons perform hip replacement surgery. Specifically, OPS now enables your surgeon to optimize the selection and placement of your hip implants, in order to suit the unique way in which your body moves.
The surgeons at INOV8 Orthopedics use the latest technology such as OPS to help improve patient outcomes and patient satisfaction after total joint replacement. Dr. Stefan Kreuzer has been heavily involved with the development of technologies suited for minimally- invasive hip replacement and revision surgery. He has been invited to lecture and demonstrate the OPS technology at major orthopedic congresses across the globe and was the first to utilize it in the United States. Since its FDA clearance, Dr. Kreuzer has performed over 600 total hip replacements utilizing OPS. Dr. Dharmpal Vansadia adopted the Optimized Positioning System technology when he joined INOV8 Orthopedics. Dr. Vansadia is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports surgeries, arthroscopy, total joint replacement, as well as acute fracture management. He has a special interest in ACL, rotator cuff, cartilage preservation, hip arthroscopy, stem-cell/PRP therapy, and minimally invasive total
This technology incorporates a simple 3 steps process, which involves: 1. Specialized medical imaging to capture the unique way in which your hip moves during every day activity. 2. Working with a team of biomedical engineers, your surgeon develops a customized surgical plan to optimize the type and position of the implants used for your hip replacement. 3. Precise, patient specific surgical guides allow your surgeon to execute your personalized plan during your operation. The OPS technology was purposely designed to: • Enhance implant longevity • Reduce the risk of instability • Increase joint mobility • Optimize function
joint replacement surgeries. Dr. Vansadia has taken care of athletes at all ages and levels including various professional, college and high school teams in New Orleans while a fellow at Oschner Sports Medicine Institute in Louisiana. Dr. Jason Brannen, akin to Dr. Kreuzer, is a board-certified and fellowship-trained joint replacement surgeon. He has extensive experience in primary joint replacement (hip and knee), hip revision surgery, and lower and upper extremity fracture care. Dr. Brannen specializes in minimally-invasive and computer-assisted hip and knee joint replacement and revision surgery, MiniHip™ and the OPS technology for total hip replacement. In addition to providing services at the INOV8 location in the Memorial area, he also treats patients in the The Woodlands.

Summertime in the City SUMMERTIME IS A MAGICAL SEASON. The kids are out of school, the sunshine seems never-ending and there’s no shortage of adventures that await. For many, summer evokes fond memories of childhood: summer camp, family vacations and swimming until your fingers are shriveled like prunes. We also celebrate our nation’s independence, host parties for our friends and family and, if we’re lucky, take a scenic road trip! In this issue of Memorial Lifestyle, we get excited about the GoBoat which can give you hours of fun on the water. We share the newest summer clothing and accessories from Tommy Bahama to make everyone envious of your wardrobe, and we visit the Japanese Garden which remains a hidden gem right here in the city. With so much to see and do this month, we have only scratched the surface of what Memorial has to offer—but we hope this issue gets you off to a good start. Happy exploring, Memorial. We hope to see you around!

DRIVER’S NOTEBOOK
The GoBoat
ARTICLE ABBY STRICKLAND

Memorial Lifestyle | July 2019
CREATED BY ENTREPRENEUR DAVE YONCE, THE GOBOAT IS CHANGING HOW WE ENJOY MANY POPULAR SUMMER ACTIVITIES ON THE WATER. The GoBoat is a portable, lightweight, individual boat you can take anywhere and assemble quickly and easily. One day on a flight home to Oklahoma, Dave looked out the window at all the lakes and ponds and realized there must be another way people could enjoy the water. Staying up late to brainstorm ideas with his two boys, the first designs for GoBoat were born. A few years later, after lots of prototypes and testing, the GoBoat officially launched and became available to purchase. If you aren’t sure if the GoBoat is right for you, just imagine pulling up next to a beautiful lake on a hot summer day, opening up the back of your truck and without any hassle setting up your own personal boat and getting out to enjoy the water within minutes. Suitable for anyone over the age of 16, the GoBoat is ideal for those who love the water. From Dad’s day of fishing to the kids’ game of chase on the lake, the options are unlimited, and fun is guaranteed. For more information, visit TheGoBoat.com.
THE FEATURES Innovative free-flow stability control design, which lets water flow in and out of the floorboard area to stabilize the GoBoat. Dual handles for easy carrying and portability. Tool-free assembly. Accepts U17 batteries as well as group 24/ group 27 batteries. Comfort and traction provided by the EVA seat pad.

A TRANQUIL OASIS IN DOWNTOWN HOUSTON
The Japanese Garden THE JAPANESE GARDEN LOCATED DOWNTOWN AT HERMANN PARK REMAINS
ONE
OF
HOUSTON’S
BEST-KEPT SECRETS. Described by all those who visit as the definition of peace and tranquility, this hidden gem should be top of your list for local spots to visit this summer.
THE BEGINNING The land was donated by the city of Houston, and the park itself was designed by world-renowned Japanese landscape architect Ken Nakajma. With funding provided by many local American and Japanese businesses, the park stands as a symbol of friendship between the U.S. and Japan and highlights the thriving Japanese community in Houston. The construction began March 26, 1991, and was completed May 4, 1992. CONTINUED >

THE JAPANESE GARDEN
(CON TI N U ED)
THE DESIGN The 5 acres are designed in a traditional Daimyo style which dates back as far as the 17th century and means "stroll garden"—multiple different paths surrounding a pond. As you walk through the park, the Japanese influences transport visitors from Texas to Japan, even if only for a few hours.
20
Memorial Lifestyle | July 2019
A gatehouse—or Nagayama as it’s called in Japanese—marks the entrance to the park. Once you enter, you are guided by three lanterns that are situated among the different paths. The lanterns symbolically light the way and guide you on your journey. CONTINUED >

THE JAPANESE GARDEN
(CON TI N U ED)
THE DETAILS A variety of native Asian plants, flowers and trees can be found in the park including pink cherry blossoms and crepe myrtle trees. All the different pathways are covered in crushed stone, and the waterfall is a popular spot to take photos or even to take a moment to pause and reflect on the beauty all around you. Many visitors claim the tea house is their favorite spot to visit in the park. It was donated by the Japanese government and was constructed using traditional Japanese materials including Hinoki, a Cypress tree native to Japan. Whether you have visited once or 100 times, paying a visit to this little haven this summer is a must. Â The garden is open daily, however, visiting hours vary on the time of year. Admission is free.

While there can be concern about citrus oils on the skin when exposed to sunlight, lemongrass isn’t a photosensitive oil, and if lemon essential oil is steam-distilled rather than cold-pressed (Oui Fresh essential oils are cold-pressed) it can be used on the skin. So just make sure to note which one your lemon oil is and only spray on clothes if you don’t have a skin-safe lemon oil (which is an application method a lot of people prefer anyway if they are more sensitive to oils).
