Our practice has been offering quality healthcare to people of all ages throughout southwest Iowa and the Council Bluffs/Omaha metropolitan area since 1972. Today we are clearly one of the leading orthopaedic practices in the Midwest. Our joint replacement program has received a five-star rating at both hospitals in Council Bluffs from Healthgrades, an agency that ranks hospitals nationally on various procedures. Council Bluffs has the only hospitals in the Omaha/Council Bluffs Metropolitan area to receive a five-star rating in both hip and knee replacement surgery.
Although now retired, Dr. Miller, founder of Miller Orthopaedic, was a co-developer with DePuy/Johnson & Johnson of the P.F.C. Sigma R.P. Mobile Bearing Knee. This prosthesis was FDA approved in September 2001 and can be used for younger, heavier or more active patients. The low friction between the knee components has greatly reduced the wear of this joint replacement component. It remains at the forefront of other joint replacements for producing the best outcomes for our patients. By utilizing new surgical techniques and improved implants and hardware we continue to provide optimum outcomes for our patients.
