Becker's Healthcare March 9, 2023
Three spine and orthopedic surgeons recently spoke with Becker’s about the future of spine and orthopedics in ASCs
Question: Where are orthopedics and spine headed in ASCs?
Editor’s note: Responses were edited lightly for brevity and clarity.
Michael Katz, MD. Sports Medicine Physician (New York City): We are in the midst of an industrial revolution in order to facilitate the use of ASCs for orthopedic and spine surgery. There will be new inventions, new protocols and the novel use of existing anesthesia protocols. The well-run ASCs will be bought up by hospital systems. New ASCs will seemingly flourish by making use of private equity funding. At some point, there will be too many ASCs and the latecomers will struggle.
