The surgeons and providers at Monument Health Orthopedics are committed to helping you regain the quality of life that you’ve lost because of injury, arthritis or joint wear and tear. Their comprehensive musculoskeletal services will move you from diagnosis to treatment, recovery and beyond. At Monument Health, you’ll receive top-quality care by board-certified orthopedic surgeons and a comprehensive team of trained orthopedic specialists.
Monument Health Orthopedics has been providing this kind of life-changing care for over a quarter century. Offering services in Rapid City at Monument Health Orthopedic & Specialty Hospital, in Spearfish at Monument Health Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Clinic and in Gillette, Wyo., at Monument Health Gillette Clinic. Richard Little, M.D., is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with Monument Health Orthopedics who practices in Spearfish. He explained, “After 25 years of practice, we’re confident in what we do. We love our communities and want to be a part of the healing process. We are proud to offer a fast track of comprehensive care with services such as ROSA robotic surgical assist, and same-day total joint replacement. Both focus on getting you back home again in a timely manner.”
ROSA Knee System enables surgeons to carry out knee replacement procedures with greater precision and a higher standard of care during knee replacement surgery. Monument Health Orthopedics was the first in the area to offer this kind of orthopedic robotic technology and are experts in the field.
Dr. Little and the rest of the orthopedics team see orthopedics and sports medicine as transformative — helping patients return to what they love most in their lives. Whether you’ve suffered from a torn ACL, torn a rotator cuff, injured your hip, suffer from arthritis or carpal tunnel, sprained your ankle or torn a ligament, you want to know you’re receiving the best care possible — and you want to know that you’re going to be able to get back to what you love with reduced or eliminated pain as soon as possible. “Getting a patient back to where they were, or making them better than they were from a mobility standpoint is what drives us,” said Dr. Little.
If mobility or pain issues are limiting what you can do, let the orthopedics team at Monument Health assess your needs and see what they can do to help you regain the quality of life that you’ve lost. Their comprehensive services can help you return to the activities you love with greater mobility and freedom from pain.
