Explore high-efficiency orthopedics with Michael Meneghini in this PCO 2026 Virtual Fellowship session. Discover how transitioning from traditional academic medical centers to an Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) optimizes clinical workflow, reduces systemic healthcare bureaucracy, and improves outpatient arthroplasty outcomes.
Streamlining outpatient joint arthroplasty
Learn how top-tier orthopedic surgeons achieve predictable 3-to-4-hour discharges for total hip arthroplasty (THA). By prioritizing direct patient care, lean operational design, and dedicated care team dynamics, surgeons can minimize hospital stay risks while enhancing recovery metrics.
Surgical precision & evidence-based protocols
Gain insights into primary THA execution and evidence-based implant selection:
- Optimized perioperative care: Multimodal non-opioid analgesia, targeted spinal anesthesia, and routine tranexamic acid (TXA) for minimal blood loss.
- Surgical technique & implants: Master-class posterior approach execution, fit-and-fill stem stability testing, and data-driven evaluation of collared vs. non-collared stems.
- Comprehensive patient engagement: Preoperative physical therapy and standardized patient education to ensure seamless same-day home recovery.
