The hospital experienced a 43 percent increase in patient volume between 2006 and 2007. The number of joint replacements done during that time more than doubled.
“The dramatic jump in orthopedic surgical volume can be attributed to Franklin’s growing reputation for excellence among both physicians and the community,” Dr. Scuderi said in a hospital news release. “We’re attracting such a large number of patients because we have the skill and technology to treat very complex conditions of the joints. We’re able to restore motion with minimal pain and minimal length of stay.”
In addition to his work at Franklin, Dr. Scuderi is also an attending orthopedic surgeon at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City and assistant clinical professor of orthopedic surgery at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, N.Y. He is also the director of the Insall Scott Kelly Institute for Orthopedics and Sports Medicine.
Dr. Scuderi’s practice focuses on repairing torn menisci, ligament tears, cartilage injuries, patellofemoral disorders, unicondylar knee replacement, total knee replacement and revision total knee replacement. He employs arthroscopy, minimally invasive techniques and full open procedures in his practice. Dr. Scuderi has also published several journal articles and textbooks on surgery techniques. He is on the editorial board of The American Journal of Knee Surgery and Techniques in Knee Surgery. His current research involves minimally invasive surgery, gender specific knee design and bloodless surgery.
Beyond his clinical work, Dr. Scuderi is active in The Knee Society, American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine and the Arthroscopy Association of North America. He serves on several committees within these organizations, including as secretary of the Knee Society.
