Chad Weber, DO, of Dayton, Ohio-based Orthopedic Associates, performed the hospital’s first robotic-assisted surgery, according to a Feb. 28 LinkedIn post.

The Mako SmartRobotics system uses a CT scan to create a patient-specific 3D model, which surgeons can then use to create a personalized surgical plan for joint replacement patients.

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.
