State-Of-The-Art Facility
Vernon Memorial Hospital
At the Viroqua Center for Orthopaedic Surgery, I am very proud of the orthopedic program that we have developed.
Within our rural hospital setting, we have developed a “state-of-the- art” Orthopaedic Center that utilizes the advanced technologies of orthopaedic surgery.
The Center for Minimally Invasive, Orthopaedic and General Surgery is our outstanding surgical facility.
We offer a beautiful and comfortable waiting area for patients and their families.
The surgical suites are digital operating rooms that incorporate voice activated technology, high-definition video and audio equipment, robotic and computer assisted technology, and new anesthesia equipment to provide the very best care available.
Many of our patients choose to watch their surgery live on a television monitor.
- For hip replacements, computer pre-op modeling of the relationship between the pelvis and the spine provides an individualized approach for implant position for each patient. Computer assisted navigation also helps to restore anatomic relationships of the operative leg.
- This technology optimizes functional implant alignment to decrease dislocation rates
- Computer pre-op modeling of the spino-pelvic relationship provides an individualized approach for implant position for each patient
- Computer assisted navigation also helps to restore anatomic relationships of the operative leg
- Robotic Assisted Surgery, and a Robotic Digital Tensioning device that predictably balances the knee
- Computer Assisted Surgery for knee replacements is performed with virtual computer implant positioning
- These tools enable us to create a customized approach to a knee replacement that is individualized for every patient
Orthopaedic Learning Center
We are leaders in these technologies and are involved with the innovation and development of the current robotic platform as well as the next generation technology and emerging new products.
We performed the very first Balance Bot Robotic Assisted Knee Replacement in North America and have performed more of these procedures than anywhere in the world.
Vernon Memorial Hospital has also become an Orthopaedic Learning Center, as we host surgeons from around the world to learn new techniques and procedures.
We also broadcast surgeries with live audio and video to locations around the globe to train surgeons with the use of robotic technology.
Highly Skilled Staff
Our clinic staff, nursing staff, and physical and occupational therapists are all extremely skilled and are important components to our team approach for treating orthopedic problems at The Viroqua Center for Orthopaedic Surgery.
