The highly skilled orthopedic surgeon uses
next-level Zimmer Biomet implants and technologies to
personalize his treatment process for patients.
NEWPORT
BEACH, Calif., April 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DISC Sports & Spine Center
("DISC") has enlisted Dr. James B.
Chen to bring a best-in-class total joint replacement
program to its renowned DISC Surgery Center at Newport Beach. The
highly skilled orthopedic surgeon is an Orange County native and former collegiate
athlete who specializes in hip and knee joint replacement,
traveling nationally to educate fellow surgeons on advanced
technology and robotic techniques. Read his full bio HERE.
Dr. Chen has developed his successful joint replacement program
around a suite of next-level Zimmer Biomet implants and
technologies (including robotics and artificial intelligence) that
allow him to personalize treatment around a patient's individual
anatomy, diagnosis and mobility goals. Now being offered at DISC,
this advanced, data-backed system is integrated into the entire
patient process, giving Dr. Chen the one-on-one time with his
patients to ultimately deliver optimal results.
"Getting those optimal results for each individual requires a
unique plan. My approach – in combination with the versatility
of Zimmer Biomet's technology, data solutions and personalized
implants – allows for truly personalized care that begins with a
patient's preoperative education and decision-making and follows
that person into the operating room, home and beyond for recovery,"
said Dr. Chen. "DISC is the ideal surgery center for outpatient
total hip and knee joints as it is specifically designed for large
surgeries compared to most of the other centers in the region.
Further, DISC's patient-first approach and investment in advanced
technology set this center apart, making it the gold-standard
choice for total joint replacement."
Key Zimmer Biomet components of Dr. Chen's total joint
replacement program include the mymobility® Care Management
Platform. This app acts as a surgical companion for patients before
and after surgery by giving surgeons the ability to send education
and therapy reminders directly to the patient's smartphone. The app
also allows surgeons to monitor patient activity levels throughout
the days and weeks while they are preparing for and recovering from
surgery. When patients receive procedure-specific information at
the appropriate time, they better understand their condition and
can take an active role in their care.
Zimmer Biomet's ROSA® Knee System combines robotic
technology with industry-leading knee implants to help surgeons
personalize surgical procedures for their patients. ROSA Knee
is a robotically-assisted surgical system designed to help perform
total knee replacement surgery. It includes features to
assist with bone resections and assessing the state of soft tissues
in order to help position the implant during surgery. Data provided
from ROSA Knee assists with complex decision-making and enables
surgeons to use software technology to control and move surgical
instruments, allowing for flexibility and improved precision during
procedures1.
Zimmer Biomet's Persona IQ® The Smart Knee® is the world's first
and only smart knee implant granted De Novo status by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration for total knee replacement surgery. Persona
IQ features smart sensor technology that collects and wirelessly
transfers key data from the knee implant to a patient's Home Base
Station. The motion data is then securely delivered to a HIPAA
compliant cloud-based platform and can be accessed remotely by the
patient and their care team on the mymobility Care Management
Platform.
"When we opened our DISC Surgery Center location in Newport Beach in 2011, we had the
infrastructure, technology and team in place to deliver
best-in-class spine and sports medicine care and have prided
ourselves in doing that ever since," said Robert S. Bray, Jr., MD, FAANS, DISC's founding
director. "A next-level total joint replacement program like this
is a fitting addition that will be a tremendous resource for the
region. We're thrilled that Dr. Chen is helping to make this
possible."
