The main focus of orthopedic surgeries today is faster surgeries, improved outcomes, and satisfied patients. However, many things stand in the way of achieving this goal.

At Enhatch, we strongly believe that open, digital ecosystems will deliver a universe of innovation to enhance the future of surgery, not only for orthopaedics but the entire medical device industry.

Knee replacement surgery is one of the fastest-growing procedures in recent years. While total knee surgery is successful and quite common, nearly 20% of patients are dissatisfied with their results after total knee surgery.

Spine surgeries have been slower to transition to an outpatient setting because of their complexity. However, some spine procedures are now considered lower risk and safe for Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC).  For example, a survey found that 86% of spine surgeons expected lumbar discectomies to move to ASCs at accelerating rates over the next few years. A similar trend is predicted for cervical-lumbar decompressions. This is only possible due to the incredible advances in surgical techniques, pain management, medical imaging, and medical device technologies.
