Our comprehensive total joint program offers shoulder, hip, and knee replacements.
Total joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which parts of an arthritic
or damaged joint are removed and replaced with a metal, plastic, or ceramic
device called a prosthesis. The prosthesis is designed to replicate the
movement of a normal, healthy joint.
For most patients, total joint replacements are outpatient procedures,
but some people prefer to stay overnight and receive extra support. At
Gunnison Valley Health we can accommodate both without transporting you
outside of the valley.
Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement Surgery
Our total joint program utilizes Zimmer Biomet’s ROSA® Knee System.
The ROSA® Knee System seamlessly blends advanced robotic technology
with top-notch knee implants to empower our surgeons in personalizing
total joint surgical procedures for our patients. This remarkable system
is designed to assist in total knee replacement surgery, offering crucial
features such as precise bone resections and real-time assessment of soft
tissues for optimal implant positioning during surgery. ROSA® Knee
also provides invaluable data to guide our surgeons in complex decision-making.
By harnessing computer and software technology, it grants our surgical
team unprecedented control and flexibility, ultimately resulting in greater
precision during procedures.
What to Expect with your Total Joint Replacement
Upon scheduling your joint replacement, you will receive information and
resources in the days and weeks leading up to your procedure as well as
information to aid in your recovery.
