Couple Undergoes Knee Replacements at WellSpan

Nita and Greg Lane, of York County, each had knee replacement surgeries at WellSpan Orthopedics in 2024.

Nita underwent a total knee replacement in April 2024, performed by Dr. Dexter Bateman, after experiencing chronic knee pain and receiving multiple injections. Greg had a partial knee replacement in July 2024, also performed by Dr. Bateman, following an injury.

Both surgeries were followed by physical therapy, during which the couple supported each other. Nita now engages in light exercise, puzzle games, and time with her great-granddaughter. Greg participates in regular weightlifting at his local gym.

The couple plans to travel this fall, including a cruise and a trip to Africa.

More information on WellSpan’s total joint replacement program is available at: WellSpan Joint Replacement Services.
