46 ORTHOPEDIC SECTION Rush University Medical Center & Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush Receive Approval for $21M ASC By Mary Rechtoris I llinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board approved Chi- cago-based practices Rush University Medical Center and Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush's plans to build a new building, featuring a surgery center, in Oak Brook, according to Daily Herald.

The new building is projected to cost $65 million. 5. The practices estimate the surgery center will cost $21 million. n Are High Volume Arthroplasty Centers Less Prone to Complications? 5 Study Insights By Jessica Kim Cohen A study in the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma found that high volume arthroplasty centers show lower mortality and complication rates than lower-volume centers. e researchers used the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System database from the New York State Department of Health to group hospitals into quartiles, based on their total hip arthroplasty volume. ey went on to determine whether this patient volume affected the outcomes of patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty for dis- placed femoral neck fractures. Here's what you need to know: 1. ose who underwent THA for femoral neck fracture at hospitals in the top volume quartile had a 0.9 percent rate of 30-day mortality and a 7.51 percent rate of one-year mortality, which was significantly lower than the rates at the lower- volume quartiles. 2. ere was no significant difference between the second, third and fourth quar- tiles when considering postoperative mortality. 3. ere was no significant difference between any of the volume quartiles when considering revision arthroplasty at one-year postoperation. 4. Overall, hospital volume quartile was a significant risk factor for increased 90-day complication; complications might include pulmonary embolism/deep vein throm- bosis, acute dislocation or prosthetic joint infection. 5. e researchers concluded that "THA for femoral neck fractures at high volume arthroplasty centers is associated with lower mortality and 90-day complication rates but does not influence one-year revision rate." n 25 ASCs With Total Disc Replacement Spinal Surgery By Laura Dyrda H ere are 25 ambulatory surgery centers where surgeons perform total disc replacements. 1.
