A large majority of the robotic hip and knee joint replacements at the surgery center have been performed by Jeremy Gardner, MD, who joined Altru in 2010.
Altru Health System was the first in North Dakota and is still the only organization in the region to provide Mako robotic-assisted surgery.
Approximately two-thirds of Mako surgeries at the health system are knee replacements, and the remaining one-third are hip replacements, the report said.
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.
