Anterior hip replacements are a minimally invasive option for patients, done without cutting into the muscles and tendons surrounding the hip and allowing for faster patient recovery. 

Patients typically do not have the same movement restrictions as traditional hip replacements and experience less pain and a faster return to activities.

Dr. Cordeiro will perform procedures on the Hana Orthopedic Surgery Table, which the health system recently acquired. 

Dr. Cordeiro is the first surgeon to perform anterior hip replacements at PBMC and is already seeing patients at the facility. 

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.
