Thanks to
advances in sur-
gical techniques
and pain man-
agement proto-
cols that allow
for shortened
recovery times,
more total joint
procedures are
migrating to
outpatient facilities. In fact, our new center has already helped us add 2 new
orthopedic surgeons, and we'll likely perform 14,000 orthopedic, GI and pain
management procedures this year alone. It's clear that outpatient total joints
will soon become commonplace. Doesn't it make good business and clinical
sense to host them in a facility that's designed to keep up with the demand?
