New PT solution may help injury prevention, injury recovery, and telehealth for health plans and self-insured employers.

Irvine, Calif.-based Hoag Orthopedic Institute has performed more than 1,000 same-day joint replacements since 2009, according to James T. Caillouette, MD, who was interviewed by Orange County Breeze.

Smith+Nephew President of Orthopedics Skip Kiil touched on the company's strategy for ASCs during the third quarter earnings call, as transcribed by Seeking Alpha.

Three orthopedics-focused ASCs were opened or announced in October:

The following ASCs recently implemented robotic surgical technology:

Shariff K. Bishai, DO, is an orthopedic surgeon with Associated Orthopedists of Detroit. Dr. Bishai is a fellow of the American Osteopathic Academy of Orthopedics, and regularly performs outpatient orthopedic procedures.

Oswego Health's Center for Orthopedic Care outpatient surgical center in Fulton, N.Y., has added robotic knee replacements to its surgical repertoire, according to local news source NNY360.

Two new private equity platforms were established in the orthopedic sector in the third quarter of 2019, according to Provident Healthcare Partners' "Q3-2019 Physician Services Update."

Dr. Eric Gordon of OrthoArkansas performed the first outpatient total knee replacement in Arkansas this past September amid a period of growth, according to Arkansas Business.

OrthoSouth Surgery Center in Germantown, Tenn., logged 6,074 cases in its first year of operation.

In the next several years, ASCs will see steady demand for gastroenterology and ophthalmology procedures — but demand for orthopedic services will skyrocket, according to several panelists who spoke at Becker's ASC 2​6​th Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs on Oct. 25.

Here are three ASCs that recently achieved milestones in their total joint programs:

DeAnza Outpatient Surgery completed its 50th advanced robotic case on Oct. 21, according to Cherie Crutcher, a marketing and communications executive at Riverside (Calif.) Community Hospital.

Green Bay, Wis.-based Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Specialists and Milwaukee-based Ascension Wisconsin are teaming up to build an ASC in Fox Crossing, Wis. that's expected to open next fall.

Nicholas Grosso, MD, is the president at The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics in Columbia, Md. Here, Dr. Grosso discusses current trends in outpatient orthopedics and how the industry and patients could benefit from allowing longer stays at ASCs.

Cincinnati-based Beacon Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine is moving into shoulder arthroplasty after performing outpatient hip and knee replacement for years, surgeon Andrew Razzano, DO, told local news outlet WLWT Cincinnati.

Here are three key insights to establishing an outpatient total joint program at ASCs from experts interviewed by Becker's ASC Review:

Physicians at the Arkansas Specialty Surgery Center in Little Rock recently completed the center's first outpatient knee replacement. Administrator Cami Love described the process of developing the program for Becker's and shared how she expects the specialty to grow.

The quadruple aim is a hallmark of how many ASCs do business. For years, administrators have paid close attention to care quality, cost and patient satisfaction. Many surgery centers also prioritize surgeon experience, creating an efficient and effective surgical environment.

Risk of surgical site infections is low for orthopedic surgery in ASCs, but patient factors can contribute to risk, according to research published in the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
