The surgery center began its total joint program in 2019, using Stryker’s Mako robotic arm-assisted technology, according to a June 28 email sent to Becker’s. The center offers patients total hip and knee and partial knee replacements.
“When I first saw the results of our first couple of total joint patients using the Mako Robotic arm assist, I was truly excited to see this technology in a same-day setting. The average person at first didn’t think that a same-day total knee or hip was possible and didn’t know about the robotic arm assist, but the results speak for themselves. I believe more and more patients will seek out orthopedic surgeons for same-day total joint procedures, especially those utilizing the Mako system,” Dennis Simmons, CEO of Elite Surgical, told Becker’s.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
