Game Ready^® is the recovery technology of choice for thousands of patients, elite athletes, athletic trainers, professional teams in every sport, special military forces, and the world’s foremost orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine doctors, and physical therapists. This innovative and effective cooling therapy helps patients recover as quickly as possible after injury or surgery. This cold and compression technology has been used by elite athletes in the Bay Area and others over its 15 year history.  Discuss the possible benefits of this technology with Dr. Sah and his team.

Nutrition is an important part of surgery. When used correctly, nutrition can make a big difference in your preparation and recovery from surgery. Patients can take advantage of the benefits of nutrition to optimize their bodies for surgery using the Ortho Nutrition Bundle. Used by thousands of patients at leading practices across the country, the Ortho Nutrition Bundle is a simple and effective 4-week solution that optimizes your nutrition for surgery. Ask Dr. Sah’s team for more information on how this program can benefit you.

Reparel™ products are designed to promote the resolution of the inflammatory response without utilizing the mechanical ‘squeeze’ typical of other garments. Constructed with a bio-active fabric technology, Reparel™ products are both soft and breathable and an extremely comfortable alternative to common neoprene sleeves and stockings. They are designed for optimal comfort and easy to use, it is safe to wear 24/7 and machine washable.   It  can help with significant reductions in acute, post-operative lower extremity inflammation, accelerated post-surgical recovery and return to activity, relief of sporadic pain and swelling, better sleep (by virtue of not waking up in pain),  and as an alternative to white compressive stocking.

This product is designed to be an affordable, convenient, and easy-to-use testing kit that relies on a harmless skin reaction to detect metal allergies. Sensiband uses a wristband to hold a medically pure piece of implant metal against a patient's skin for a week. If the person develops a skin reaction (contact dermatitis) they will know that they are likely allergic to that element and can let their surgeon know so that an alternative implant material can be used. Doctors have implant options and can use ceramicized or titanium alloys instead of cobalt-chrome-molybdenum or stainless-steel alloys.

Corganics® is the clinical cannabinoid (CBD) brand healthcare professionals trust most. They provide scientifically formulated and physician advised, broad-spectrum CBD products with the same quality expected of the highest quality medications.

Available only from healthcare professionals, these products provide the safest, cleanest, most transparent third-party tested and clinically proven CBD. The research into the potential benefits of cannabinoid therapy is complex, but most of it comes down to the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). This system is responsible for maintaining homeostasis within the body, including: inflammation, immunity, stress, mood, appetite, sleep, and cognition. Patients have found CBD an effective supplement, or alternative, around surgery to minimize narcotic and other drug side effects.

Drs. Sah and Bonner are proud to bring the first robotic joint replacement system to the area, and to the Institute for Joint Restoration, with Velys advanced technology. As the only joint replacement surgeons at the Institute with experience using robotic technology, they have brought the most cutting-edge robot to be released to the market. During surgery, the VELYS robot and integrated operating platform assist with the optimization and digital precision of cuts and implant placement. The Velys Robotic-Assisted Solution is designed for digital precision in knee replacement because every knee is different. The enhanced accuracy helps provide improved comfort and outcomes for patients who meet specific criteria.

The miniTREAD® equipment provides safe, effective cardio and lower body workout while integrating two of the most natural human behaviors: Sitting and Walking. The goal of the miniTREAD is to help you strengthen your lower body muscles and help you prepare for your surgery. During recovery, the miniTREAD can be used to help rebuild your strength and range of motion.

Please discuss the miniTREAD with Dr. Sah to see if this is a viable and preferred form of exercise for you.   It is available for purchase, and there is also a research study opportunity where the device is free if you complete the study.  Inquire for details.

Component placement is an important factor in hip and knee replacement outcomes.  Standard instrumentation has proven to be highly accurate in achieving these goals in the hands of specialists.  Technology can assist in component placement for difficult anatomy, presence of prior hardware, or leg deformity.  Alignment tools which avoid unnecessary extra incisions, pins in the bone, or laborious computer registration are ideal.  Dr. Sah can use this technology when needed to quickly, accurately, and safely navigate the straight-forward primary replacement to the most challenging leg deformity.  Click here to read more.

Being in Silicon Valley, there are many technologies available to assist orthopedic surgery.  These can range from navigation tools that assist surgery to robotic devices that do surgery.  As rapidly as the technology advances, one must be cautious of the risks, costs, and actual affect on outcomes to determine if the technology is worthwhile and safe.  Dr. Sah carefully researches and evaluates new technology as it becomes available.  A low-risk, potentially high-reward technology is sensors that can be used at the time of knee surgery to assess soft tissue balance to optimize knee kinematics of the new knee replacement.  Read here to see if you qualify for free use of this technology in a research study designed by Dr. Sah.

Technology has the potential to gather and deliver previously unattainable information, and thereby possibly optimize patient recovery after hip and knee surgery.  Dr. Sah has an interest in making these technologies available to his patients.  Non-intrusive, wearable devices offer the opportunity for real-time monitoring and patient engagement not previously possible.  Dr. Sah believes these advancements can lead to improved patient outcomes and higher satisfaction.  See if this technology can help you by reading more.
