A public forum addressing osteoarthritis of the hip and knee will be held in Sélestat, France, on Wednesday, February 25th, at 7:00 PM in the Salle Sainte-Barbe. The event is organized by Dr. Ouahid Dahmani, head of the orthopedic and trauma surgery department at the Sélestat-Obernai Hospital Group.
Dr. Dahmani described the event as a first-time effort to “exchange with the general public, outside of a clinical setting,” according to reports. The roundtable discussion, titled “Hanche, genou… et si on parlait enfin d’arthrose?” (Hip, knee… and if we finally talked about osteoarthritis?), aims to provide a space for open conversation about the condition.
Dr. Dahmani practices at both the Centre Hospitalier de Sélestat and a private practice within the hospital complex, located at 23 Avenue Louis Pasteur, Sélestat. He specializes in hip and knee joint surgery, including total hip and knee replacements, with costs for a total hip replacement generally around €919.60 and a total knee replacement around €555, according to published fee schedules.
The Sélestat-Obernai Hospital Group, where Dr. Dahmani leads the orthopedic department, is a regional healthcare provider serving the area. Dr. Dahmani’s profile on LinkedIn indicates extensive experience in orthopedic and traumatological surgery within the group.
