“For good reason, people have been avoiding emergency rooms and hospital stays because of fears of developing hospital-acquired nosocomial infections like antibiotic-resistant MRSA or being in close contact with COVID-infected patients,” says orthopedic surgeon Alejandro Badia, MD, founder and chief medical officer of the Florida-based Badia Hand to Shoulder Center and OrthoNOW®.
Outpatient surgery with same-day discharge offers a much safer, more efficient and far less costly option for those struggling with the pain of diseased joints.
