Geraldton orthopaedic facilities and technology

At St John of God Geraldton Hospital, you can access advanced orthopaedic care close to home, supported by leading surgical technology and personalised rehabilitation.

We have recently introduced robotic-assisted orthopaedic surgery, expanding the range of specialist surgical services available for patients in the Mid West region.

Our robotic-assisted systems, including CORI and ROSA, are designed to support surgeons during joint replacement procedures with real-time data and guidance. This technology assists with planning and implant positioning, allowing surgery to be tailored more precisely to each patient’s individual anatomy. This added precision may support improved recovery and help reduce pain after surgery.

CORI surgical system

The CORI surgical system is an advanced robotics platform used in both partial and total knee replacement procedures. It creates a detailed 3D model of the knee, helping your surgeon plan and perform surgery with precision tailored to your anatomy.

ROSA

ROSA brings together advanced technologies including computer navigation, soft tissue balancing, 3D modelling and robotic assistance in one integrated system. These tools help support accurate implant positioning and a highly personalised surgical approach.

Rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery

Your care continues beyond surgery. At St John of God Geraldton Hospital, you also have access to rehabilitation services designed to support your recovery and help you rebuild strength, confidence and mobility.

Our multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses and physiotherapists work together to manage your pain and increase your range of movement. They will provide you with a custom rehabilitation plan to ensure you are progressing towards your goals.

We also use customised software to help guide your rehabilitation and track your activity and function, so you can see the progress you are making over time.
