You don't have to look far to find someone who has had a successful knee or hip replacement, and there are plenty in our active community. But maybe you need a little "famous-person" type of inspiration!

The Zimmer Biomet ROSA, which stands for Robotic Surgical Assistant, has the potential to improve outcomes following total knee replacements.

Team Cafferky was on hand for the inaugural VSON Ski Day. A huge turnout of former VSON patients showed up for the event, which featured a meet & greet and a catered reception after the skiing.

ROSA allows surgeons to make bony cuts purer, gives a scientific data on balancing ligament tension, allows for scientific restoration of limb alignment, and improves the opportunity for patella tracking and knee range of motion. Dr. Cafferky said all of this information together has the potential to improve total knee replacements.

In an active population, such as the one that skis, hikes, and bikes throughout the Vail Valley, joint wear and tear is an inevitable outcome of years spent exploring the mountains.
