CSMO Completes First Lumbar Total Joint Replacement in US

Congratulations to OrthoForum member Center for Sports Medicine & Orthopaedics on the completion of the first successful surgery for total joint replacement of the lumbar spine! Dr. Benjamin J Geddes, MD performed this incredible series of procedures at the practice's Ambulatory Surgery Center in Chattanooga, TN. The ground-breaking surgery (known as the BalancedBack total joint replacement procedure) was accompanied by first-of-its-kind technology, -- Just one example of innovation within The OrthoForum and MSK care today. “When it comes to spine surgery, there is still much room for growth and improvement – which can be both frustrating and exciting. That’s why we’re focused on adopting technologies and procedures that can make a real difference in the quality of life our patients experience,” says Dr. Geddes. Bravo, Center for Sports Medicine & Orthopaedics! Read more.
