QUOTED. Jan. 4, 2018. Justin Barad.
Executive Summary
Check out what Osso VR CEO – and pediatric orthopedic surgeon – Justin Barad had to say about how patient preference could boost interest in minimally invasive knee and hip arthroplasties.
"In general, to this point, minimally invasive knee and hip arthroplasties haven't shown much of a difference in outcome. But there is another factor to consider, and that is patient preference. If a patient can have a smaller incision or if a surgery is even perceived to be more minimally invasive, those can become very popular, as in the case of anterior total hip arthroplasty, which has really exploded in popularity in recent years despite some mixed data on improved outcomes compared with traditional posterior approaches." –Justin Barad, pediatric orthopedic surgeon & founder and CEO, Osso VR
