Description:
|
Hip replacements is one of the most common surgeries in the nation. As our American population’s average age increases, more of these surgeries are required. Yet, there is a low number of new surgeons entering the workforce, so more efficient and effective techniques have to be implemented in hospital surgical flows so the surgeon’s capacity is optimized. |
