A ribbon-cutting ceremony for Hendrick Clinic Orthopedics was held Aug. 17. James Deal, MD, and John Masterson, MD, are providing orthopedic services at the facility, which includes in-house imaging.

The hospital wants patients to be able to “stay close to home to receive high-quality care,” one of the reasons why the orthopedic clinic was opened, according to Krista Baty, chief administrative officer and chief nursing officer.

Surgeons performing knee and hip replacements will have access to a Mako robot, installed at the main hospital in May. Surgeons use the system to create 3D preoperative plans and to assist with precise implant alignment and positioning.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
