January is National Winter Sports Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness Month.

Winter sports are a great way to stay active during the colder months, but safety matters just as much on the slopes, ice, or trails as it does during warmer seasons. Wearing a helmet and appropriate protective gear can significantly reduce the risk of traumatic brain injury and other serious injuries.

This winter, protect your head, stay aware of conditions, and keep doing what you love safely.

Advances in orthopedic care don’t stop at recovery: they’re about long-term joint health, too.

This week, Miach Orthopaedics announced an important update: the BEAR® Implant has received an FDA-approved label expansion showing a reduced risk of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) following ACL injury.

This update reinforces that knee health years down the road matters just as much as getting back to activity.

At ROC, we’re proud to stay at the forefront of evidence-based innovations that support better outcomes for our patients, both now and in the future.
