Reno Orthopedic Surgery Center (ROSC) has announced the opening of the Joint Replacement Institute, the region’s only surgical facility dedicated exclusively to joint replacements. This facility completes the program designed specifically for patients undergoing joint replacement surgery, and is led by six fellowship trained joint replacement surgeons.
The Joint Replacement Institute at ROSC is Nevada’s only facility to receive specialty accreditation for joint replacement surgery – meeting the highest standards for patient safety and care.
Unique to Northern Nevada, this program provides pre-operative total joint replacement classes to help patients prepare for surgery. These classes are conducted by Registered Nurses who are directly involved in patient care and recovery. The program also provides care navigation through care Companion in the MyChart App. This helps patients stay on track and in contact with staff throughout recovery.
The Joint Replacement Institute offers Mako SmartRobotics™, to help guide surgeons in planning and precision for more accurate patient-specific implant placement and protection of soft-tissues. The result is less bone and soft-tissue damage, less need for manipulations under anesthesia, and less postoperative pain.
Patients recover faster with personalized physical therapy, onsite immediately after joint replacement surgery. Expert physical therapists kickstart the patient recovery journey helping them regain mobility, strength, and confidence in their new joint just hours after surgery.
Additionally, the joint replacement program provides essential recovery products through The Shop at ROC located onsite.
