Hip Replacement Surgery:
Objective: Hip replacement surgery is conducted when the hip joint sustains damage from conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or fractures, with the goal of alleviating pain, restoring mobility, and enhancing the patient’s overall quality of life.
Procedure: Hip replacement surgery involves two primary approaches: total hip replacement (THR), which replaces both the ball and socket of the hip joint, and partial hip replacement (hemiarthroplasty), which focuses on replacing only the ball portion.
Implants: The artificial hip joint components typically consist of materials like metal, plastic, or ceramic, chosen by surgeons based on the patient’s age, activity level, and specific requirements.
Recovery: Following the procedure, patients undergo physical therapy to regain strength and mobility, often experiencing reduced pain and improved hip function.
Custom Knee Replacement:
Objective: Custom knee replacement represents a personalized approach to knee arthroplasty, designed for patients experiencing severe knee pain or joint damage resistant to conservative treatments.
Procedure: Before surgery, the patient’s knee anatomy is meticulously assessed through advanced imaging and computer modeling, allowing for the creation of a customized knee implant that precisely fits the patient’s unique anatomy.
Advantages: Custom knee replacements frequently result in enhanced alignment, stability, and reduced pain when compared to standard knee replacements.
Recovery: The recovery process entails physical therapy to regain knee strength and range of motion, typically leading to reduced pain and improved knee function.
Hip Avascular Necrosis
Definition: Hip avascular necrosis occurs when the blood supply to the hip bone (femoral head) is disrupted, leading to the death of bone tissue.
Causes: This condition may arise due to factors such as trauma, prolonged corticosteroid use, excessive alcohol consumption, or certain medical conditions.
Treatment: Treatment options encompass medication for pain management and addressing underlying conditions. In advanced cases, surgical interventions like core decompression, bone grafting, or hip replacement may be necessary.
Cervical Myelopathy – Posterior Cervical Decompression and Fusion:
Objective: This procedure addresses cervical myelopathy, a condition characterized by spinal cord compression in the neck, with the aim of alleviating pressure on the spinal cord.
Procedure: Surgeons access the spine from the posterior (back) approach, removing any bone or tissue pressing on the spinal cord and fusing adjacent vertebrae to stabilize the spine.
Recovery: Patients may require physical therapy to regain strength and mobility, with the procedure often relieving symptoms such as numbness, weakness, and difficulty walking.
Degenerative Lumbar Spine – Fusion Surgeries – TLIF (Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion):
Objective: TLIF addresses degenerative conditions of the lumbar spine, including disc degeneration, herniation, or spondylolisthesis.
Procedure: During TLIF, the surgeon removes the problematic disc, inserts bone graft material into the vacated disc space, and incorporates hardware like screws and rods to fuse adjacent vertebrae.
Advantages: TLIF provides spinal stability, pain reduction, and potential improvements in overall function.
Degenerative Cervical Spine – ACDF (Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion):
Objective: ACDF is employed to treat cervical spine conditions such as herniated discs or spinal cord compression in the neck.
Procedure: Surgeons access the cervical spine from the anterior (front) approach, removing the damaged disc and fusing adjacent vertebrae with a bone graft to alleviate spinal cord pressure.
Recovery: This procedure can alleviate symptoms such as neck pain, arm pain, and numbness.
Lumbar Canal Stenosis and Degenerative Adult Scoliosis – Lumbar Fusion:
Objective: Lumbar fusion is recommended for conditions like lumbar canal stenosis or adult scoliosis to stabilize the spine.
Procedure: During lumbar fusion, two or more vertebrae are fused together using bone grafts and hardware to reduce pain and improve spinal alignment.
Advantages: Lumbar fusion can provide relief from pain, weakness, and other symptoms associated with these conditions.
Lumbar Discectomy:
Objective: Lumbar discectomy is performed to address herniated or damaged discs in the lumbar spine.
Procedure: The surgeon removes the portion of the disc pressing on nearby nerves, leading to a reduction in leg pain and improved mobility for patients.

About Levittown
Levittown is a designated area within the Town of Hempstead in Nassau County, situated on Long Island, New York. It’s positioned approximately halfway between the villages of Hempstead and Farmingdale. According to the 2010 census Levittown had a total population of 51,881 residents, making it the most densely populated designated area in Nassau County and the second most densely populated on Long Island, with only Brentwood surpassing it.
The name “Levittown” is derived from the company that built it, Levitt & Sons, Inc., founded by Abraham Levitt on August 2, 1929. This company developed the area as a carefully planned community for World War II veterans returning home between 1947 and 1951. The firm was led by Abraham’s sons, William and Alfred, who served as the company’s president and chief architect/planner, respectively.
Levittown holds historical significance as the pioneering mass-produced suburban community, often considered the model for postwar suburbs across the United States. William Levitt, who took over Levitt & Sons in 1954, is widely regarded as the visionary behind modern suburbia in the United States.
Over the years, there have been several proposals aimed at incorporating Levittown, either as an independent village or as Nassau County’s third city.
History
Levitt & Sons, a construction company led by Abraham Levitt and his two sons, William and Alfred, created four planned communities known as “Levittown” in different locations: New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Puerto Rico.
The first Levittown was established in New York. Additionally, Levitt & Sons’ architectural designs can be prominently seen in the older parts of Buffalo Grove, Illinois; Vernon Hills, Illinois; Willingboro Township, New Jersey; the Belair section of Bowie, Maryland; and the Greenbriar section of Fairfax, Virginia.
The Levitt company’s origins trace back to before World War II when they specialized in building custom homes in affluent neighborhoods on Long Island.
During the war, the construction industry faced challenges due to a scarcity of raw materials for private use. William “Bill” Levitt, who served in the Navy’s Seabees (construction battalions), gained expertise in efficiently constructing military housing using standardized and interchangeable components. He foresaw the need for similar mass-produced housing in the postwar era and secured options on large tracts of undeveloped land on Long Island.
Upon his return to the company after the war, Bill Levitt persuaded his father and brother to adopt the efficient construction methods he had learned in the Navy. With the architectural skills of his brother, Alfred, they designed a small single-story house with an unfinished “expansion attic” that could be quickly built and rented to returning World War II veterans and their families.
Levitt & Sons focused on speed, efficiency, and cost-effective construction, achieving a production rate of 30 houses per day by July 1948. They used pre-cut lumber and nails from their own factories in Blue Lake, California, and built on concrete slabs, necessitating changes to local building codes.
Despite using non-union contractors, Levitt & Sons paid their workers well and provided incentives for extra earnings, resulting in higher wages than other jobs at the time. They also purchased many materials directly from manufacturers, streamlining the construction process to 26 steps, each handled by specialized sub-contractors.
By mass-producing thousands of houses simultaneously, Levitt could offer fully equipped homes with modern appliances and a television in the living room for as little as $8,000 each (equivalent to $104,846 today). With the support of the G.I. Bill and federal housing subsidies, the upfront cost for many buyers was reduced to approximately $400 (equivalent to $5,242 today).
The initial 2,000-home rental community was a rapid success, with half of the properties rented within two days of its announcement in May 1947. In response to high demand, the Levitts expanded their project with an additional 4,000 homes and introduced community amenities like schools and postal services.
As federal government housing support through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) became fully available, Levitt & Sons transitioned from renting to selling homes, offering ownership through a 30-year mortgage with no down payment and monthly costs equivalent to rental payments. The increased demand prompted further expansion, leading to the change of the community’s name from Island Trees to Levittown.
Levittown was conceived to address the urgent need for a large supply of affordable family homes. This suburban development became a symbol of the “American Dream” by enabling thousands of families to become homeowners.
Demographics
According to the 2010 United States census, Levittown was home to 51,881 residents, living in 17,207 households, and 14,031 families. The community had a population density of approximately 7,717.5 people per square mile (or 2,979.7 per square kilometer). There were 17,447 housing units, averaging a density of around 2,531.9 per square mile (or 977.6 per square kilometer).
Regarding racial composition, the CDP (Census-Designated Place) consisted of 90% White, 5.7% Asian, 0.8% Black, 0.1% Native American, and 0.02% Pacific Islander residents. Hispanics or Latinos of any race constituted 12% of the population.
The population distribution within the community was as follows: 25.7% were under the age of 18, 7.0% were between 18 and 24, 31.4% fell within the 25 to 44 age group, 23.0% were aged 45 to 64, and 12.9% were 65 years or older. The median age stood at 37 years. For every 100 females, there were 94.6 males, and among females aged 18 and older, there were 91.4 males.
In terms of income, the median household income was $124,995, while the median family income was $132,887. These figures represented an increase from estimates in 2007, which stood at $95,979 for households and $99,845 for families. Men had a median income of $94,803 compared to $79,962 for women.
The per capita income for the CDP was $45,917. A very small percentage of the population (1.0%) and families (0.1%) fell below the poverty line, with 0.2% of those under 18 and 0.3% of those 65 and older living in poverty.
