Video Summary
In this video, Mike Galea from NYU discusses the increasing popularity of neo-osteotomies for various knee issues and the associated concerns such as pain control and complications. The study aims to compare the outcomes of knee osteotomies performed at an ambulatory surgery center (ASC) versus an inpatient hospital facility. The study included 530 osteotomies, with 41.8% performed at the ASC. No patients in the ASC cohort required immediate inpatient conversion for complications, and there were no significant differences in complications or readmissions between the ASC and hospital facility. The study suggests that knee osteotomies can be safely performed in an outpatient setting with potential cost savings.
