ame-day
joint
replace-
ment is
one of
surgery's hottest spe-
cialties, and it's only
going to get hotter.
Consider that total
joints performed in
the outpatient setting
cost about 50% less
than replacements
done in inpatient ORs.
Also know that the
number of joint
replacements per-
formed in the outpa-
tient arena will con-
tinue to explode over
the next decade. By
2030, demand for
knee arthroplasties is
expected to increase
