Our Orthopedic Experience & Joint Replacement Expertise
With nearly 50 years of combined surgical experience between our surgeons (and 60 years between our three board-certified physician assistants), the Whole Health Orthopedic Institute knows what it takes to set our patients up for success. We assess the entirety of our patients’ health, paying attention not only to their physical wellbeing but to their mental and emotional wellbeing as well. As one of the country’s leading experts in joint replacement surgeries, we believe in the importance of sharing knowledge peer to peer in order to improve the lives of patients globally.
Whole Health’s dedication to unmatched orthopedic care goes far beyond performing joint replacements; our own Dr. Molli was actually one of the four creators/design surgeons of the Medacta MOTO Partial Knee System. Used for partial knee replacements (a procedure we specialize in), this system is a custom surgical technique and implant designed to balance the ligaments of each particular patient’s knee. The system uses a specially designed piece that is capable of fitting 10 different femur sizes and 8 different tibia sizes, with plastic thickness options designed to match the needs of our patients. To date, Dr. Molli has performed over 2,000 partial knee replacements, and nearly half of them have utilized the Medacta MOTO system.
Our Relationship with Medacta, An Educational Orthopedics Company
At Whole Health, we like to say that we operate as an educational company that happens to perform high-quality hip and knee replacements. We work closely with Medacta to provide specialized training to doctors and students globally. Medacta is an educational orthopedics company that also manufactures innovative medical devices. When observing the philosophies of both companies, it’s easy to see why we work so well together. Medacta operates with three focuses in mind: patient wellbeing, medical education, and healthcare system sustainability. This is largely intertwined with the company’s history and the fact that it is the only medical device company founded by a patient.
Medacta and Whole Health share a passion for medical education while employing a “patient first construct,” and because of this, Whole Health is proud to utilize Medacta medical devices for operations such as total hip, total knee, and partial knee arthroplasties. Both companies are dedicated to finding the perfect device and surgical technique for each and every patient, while Whole Health’s procedures are rooted in strong, reasonable, and proven surgical and scientific techniques.
Educational Seminars & Videos for Patients & Professionals
In addition to training over 450 fellow surgeons worldwide in both lecture settings and cadaveric labs, Dr. Molli has performed over 300 educational seminars for patients in the past 10 years. In addition to one-on-one education, these group seminars have been mandatory for every patient of Whole Health prior to every procedure we perform. While these seminars are designed for patient education, healthcare providers are also welcome to attend and learn more about our holistic, patient-centric philosophy. Dr. Molli and Dr. Frndak have always been extremely dedicated to education and have found that it makes a huge positive impact on their patients AFTER surgery if they can be properly educated before surgery. This allows them to have a better understanding of realistic expectations after surgery which yields happier and more satisfied patients.
