2024 Outcomes Report

We provide transparent surgical outcomes.

Navigating Orthopaedic and Spine surgery without assistance can be overwhelming. Many people have friends and family members with variable outcomes after surgery and it can be difficult to make sense of these differences. The providers at Steamboat Orthopaedic and Spine Institute (SOSI) believe that total transparency in surgical outcomes is the patient’s right.

SOSI has been a leader in developing a national database to provide patients with transparency surrounding their surgical care. We collect data on patient satisfaction, pain, function and complication rates on all of our surgical patients with at least a 89% follow-up rate at one year. This means we track nearly all patients, and our statistics are a true reflection of surgical quality.

This is information that we are proud to provide to patients and referring providers. The graphs included in this brochure demonstrate that patients have significant improvement in physical function, social participation and reduction in pain following surgery. Furthermore, over 91% of patients are completely satisfied with their outcome, exceeding the benchmark at elite medical centers.

Lastly, we have made a significant effort to help patients achieve opioid independence following surgery. With our protocol we have had an unprecedented ability to help patients reach this goal. SOSI understands that not every patient is at the point of requiring surgery. This is why we utilize all non-operative options prior to considering surgical intervention. Many patients simply want to understand the source of their pain, and would like a thorough diagnostic evaluation, along with education, regarding their diagnosis and treatment options. We take the time to make sure patients understand their options.

Our team is honored and humbled to provide quality comprehensive orthopaedic and spine care for patients in Northern Colorado and Southern Wyoming. We are excited to provide subspecialized care in our state-of-the-art clinic, imaging and surgery center.
