At The CORE Institute, doctors use modern technology to treat bone and joint problems such as joint pain, arthritis, injuries, and damage that happens over time.
These tools help doctors find problems more clearly, plan treatments more carefully, and support patients as they recover.
For more than 20 years, The CORE Institute has focused on orthopedic care. Its doctors combine medical skill with modern technology to help patients move better and feel less pain.
Finding the Problem with Clear Images
Good care starts with a clear diagnosis, and imaging tools help doctors see what is happening inside the body.
At The CORE Institute, doctors use MRI scans, CT scans, and X-rays to create detailed pictures of bones, joints, and soft tissues. These images help doctors understand the problem and choose the best treatment for each patient.
This careful planning is especially helpful for people who may need joint repair or joint replacement surgery.
Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement
Some surgeons at The CORE Institute use a robotic system called the Mako™ System to perform partial knee, total knee, and total hip replacement surgery.
Before surgery, the patient receives a CT scan that creates a 3D model of the joint. The surgeon uses this model to plan the surgery and decide where the new joint should be placed.
During the procedure, the surgeon guides the robotic arm using this plan, while staying fully in control of every step.
Dr. Steven Myerthall, an orthopedic surgeon at The CORE Institute, explains:
“The CORE Institute works hard to use the newest technology for joint replacement surgery. Planning the surgery in 3D helps us place implants exactly where we want them.”
This technology helps surgeons place the new joint more accurately while protecting healthy tissue.
How Patients May Benefit
Robotic-assisted surgery may offer several benefits compared with traditional joint replacement surgery.
Possible benefits include:
- More accurate placement of the new joint
- Less damage to nearby healthy tissue
- Smaller cuts during surgery
- Less pain after surgery
- Shorter hospital stays
- Faster recovery for many patients
Dr. Myerthall says many patients are able to return to their normal activities sooner.
“With the MAKO system, many patients recover faster. They may also have less pain and need less pain medicine.”
Technology Throughout the Care Process
Technology helps support patients before, during, and after treatment.
At The CORE Institute, imaging is often done in the same location where patients meet with their doctor, which can help speed up diagnosis and treatment.
Care teams also use digital tools to track recovery and guide rehabilitation, helping patients stay on track as they heal.
Looking Ahead
The CORE Institute continues to invest in technology that improves patient care. By combining advanced tools with experienced doctors, the team provides treatment that is precise, personalized, and focused on long-term mobility.
For people living with joint pain or limited movement, these advances can help make treatment clearer and recovery smoother.
