At OrthoColorado Hospital, part of the CommonSpirit Health family, we understand that movement is more than just physical. It is about living a full and vibrant life. Whether you are walking with loved ones, pursuing your passions, or simply enjoying everyday activities, your ability to move freely is essential to your well-being. That is why our orthopedics team is dedicated to providing personalized, innovative joint care that supports your active lifestyle, always guided by compassion and respect.
From nurturing your natural hip to maintaining spinal flexibility, strengthening your shoulder, or ensuring a new joint feels as natural as possible, our team combines advanced technology, minimally invasive techniques, and a deep commitment to your individual needs. At OrthoColorado, your journey to better movement begins with understanding, empathy, and a partnership built on trust.
Hip Preservation: Honoring Your Body’s Natural Design
Hip pain can significantly impact your daily life. At OrthoColorado, our orthopedics specialists believe in exploring every option to preserve your natural hip whenever possible. Our hip preservation team is skilled in advanced, minimally invasive procedures designed to address the root cause of your pain while helping you maintain your natural joint for as long as possible.
We begin with a comprehensive and compassionate evaluation, combining physical exams with state-of-the-art imaging to understand your unique anatomy and the source of your discomfort. Many patients are relieved to learn that conditions like labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), or hip dysplasia can often be treated without a full replacement.
For labral tears, our surgeons use arthroscopic techniques to carefully repair or reconstruct the labrum, restoring smooth and stable joint movement. In cases of FAI, we gently reshape the femoral head or socket rim to relieve the painful “pinching” sensation.
For more complex conditions such as hip dysplasia, we offer periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), a procedure that repositions the hip socket to improve alignment and joint stability. Our expertise in these techniques makes OrthoColorado a trusted destination for patients seeking to delay or even avoid major hip surgery.
Our goal is to partner with you to keep your natural hip healthy, functional, and pain-free, empowering you to continue living life on your terms.
Spine Care: Supporting Stability and Flexibility with Understanding
Your spine is the foundation of your body, and when it is painful or unstable, every movement can become a challenge. At OrthoColorado, we know that traditional spinal fusion is not always the best solution. Our orthopedics specialists focus on motion-preserving techniques that relieve pain while maintaining as much natural spinal movement as possible, always keeping your individual needs at the forefront.
For some patients with cervical or lumbar conditions, artificial disc replacement (disc arthroplasty) offers an alternative to fusion. These implants are designed to mimic the natural motion of your spine, reducing stress on surrounding vertebrae and helping you recover with greater flexibility. We take time to discuss each option in detail, so you can make an informed decision about your care.
When nerve compression is contributing to your pain, our surgeons use minimally invasive decompression techniques to relieve pressure with precision. This often means smaller incisions, less disruption to surrounding tissues, and a faster recovery.
For individuals facing more complex spinal conditions, we offer advanced surgical solutions that balance stability with motion preservation whenever possible. Our team uses advanced imaging, navigation systems, and minimally invasive methods to tailor each procedure to your specific needs, ensuring the highest level of safety and care.
Whether your spine needs a small adjustment or a more advanced solution, our approach to joint care is always rooted in compassion and respect. We are here to help you move comfortably, with confidence and peace of mind.
Shoulder Surgery: Restoring Strength and Freedom of Movement
Your shoulders give you the freedom to reach, lift, throw, and embrace. When pain or injury limits your shoulder function, even simple tasks can feel overwhelming. At OrthoColorado, our orthopedics team offers motion-sparing surgical options to restore strength, reduce pain, and support your natural range of motion, all while prioritizing your comfort and well-being.
Our surgeons are highly skilled in shoulder arthroscopy, a minimally invasive technique for precise treatment of rotator cuff tears, labral injuries, and other soft tissue damage. For those with arthritis or more advanced joint damage, we provide state-of-the-art joint replacement solutions designed to improve function while preserving as much natural movement as possible.
When appropriate, we offer the ROSA robotic shoulder system. This advanced technology enhances surgical precision, allowing for personalized planning and more accurate placement of implants. It helps improve outcomes and may reduce recovery time.
Whether you are an athlete, an active professional, or someone simply looking to regain everyday function, our team will work closely with you to craft a treatment plan focused on your individual needs and goals. We are here to listen, understand, and support you.
Total Joint Solutions: Personalized Care for a Better Quality of Life
When joint damage becomes too advanced for preservation, joint replacement can offer a path back to pain-free living and renewed activity. At OrthoColorado, our joint care team takes a personalized approach to ensure that your treatment aligns with your unique anatomy, lifestyle, and activity level. We believe in empowering you with the information you need to make the best choices for your health.
For the hip, we offer hip resurfacing, a bone-conserving option. For the knee, we use implants designed to closely replicate natural movement and pair them with robotic assistance for precise placement.
Every step of the process, from consultation to rehabilitation, is designed with your recovery and quality of life in mind. We want you to return to your favorite activities with confidence and ease.
Your Care Team: A Partnership Built on Compassion and Expertise
Behind every successful surgery or treatment is a dedicated team of experts who care deeply about your well-being. At OrthoColorado, you will be supported by a multidisciplinary team of surgeons, physical therapists, nurses, and care coordinators who work together to guide you through every stage of your journey.
We believe in empowering you with knowledge and support so you can play an active role in your recovery. From pre-surgical education to personalized rehabilitation plans, we are committed to helping you regain mobility and confidence.
Our goal is not just to treat your condition but to ensure you leave feeling stronger, more capable, and ready to embrace the activities you cherish. We are here to listen, answer your questions, and provide the support you need to thrive.
Why Motion Matters: Our Commitment to Your Well-being
At OrthoColorado Hospital, we believe motion is freedom. It is the freedom to live fully, connect deeply, and enjoy the moments that matter most. Preserving and restoring motion is a reflection of our commitment to compassionate care and the values we hold dear.
Across hips, spines, shoulders, and joints, we combine advanced orthopedics techniques, robotics, and personalized joint care to help you move better and live better. No matter where you are on your journey, we will be your partner every step of the way.
