LEARN WHY OTHER ORTHOPEDIC PRACTICES ARE PARTNERED WITH ROBARD

Medically Supervised

Medically monitored weight loss programs featuring very low-calorie diet (VLCD), like New Direction, can help qualify your patients for surgery.

Tested Results

On average, patients can lose 36 lbs. in 12 weeks

Preoperative Weight Management

A Robard program including diet, exercise, calorie-counting, and meeting with a dietitian could result in reliable weight loss for TJA patients with obesity, resulting in optimized surgical outcomes.

Better Outcomes

Obese patients who lose weight non-surgically through a weight management program have better surgical and functional outcomes.

For orthopedic surgeons, the cost of obesity includes higher surgical costs, longer hospitals stays, higher risk of infection, greater likelihood of readmission, and increased need for medications.

Alternatively, denying obese surgery candidates altogether and sending them away to lose weight on their own with the expectation that they will return and qualify for surgery is unrealistic, rarely occurs and eliminates a potential surgical canidate.
