Dr. Borchardâs 2020 patient outcomes were compared to a baseline standard developed by Stryker Orthopaedics. The baseline average consisted of 650,000 elective knee and hip surgeries in over 200 hospitals and 20,000 Mako cases across the country.
Dr. Borchard and his teamâs outpatient/length of stay (LOS) significantly decreased in 2020. Most patients did not want to stay longer than necessary in the hospital, especially with COVID-19. CAOâs average LOS was 33.42 hours versus Strykerâs benchmark average of 41.79 hours, a decrease of 8.37 hours, or 20.03% less time spent in the hospital.
One-hundred percent of Dr. Borchardâs patients were discharged to home versus the 94% benchmark average; furthermore, none of his patients were readmitted to the hospital after surgery, which was measured at 30-days and 90-days post-operation. Compare this to Strykerâs benchmark average of 30-day readmission average of 1.74% and a 90-day readmission average of 2.72%.
Colorado Advanced Orthopedics, Sports Medicine and Spine continues to see extraordinary growth with excellent patient outcomes.
The demand for Dr. Kevin Borchardâs skilled surgical techniques and extensive fellowship training, paired with Strykerâs Mako Robotic Arm, creates a dynamic team that is driving patients from all over the country to Meeker, Colorado for his orthopedic services.
âI am utilizing the same surgical technique that I learned during my fellowship in Boston at the New England Baptist Hospital. During my fellowship, I did over 900 complex joint replacement surgeries working with some of the top surgeons in my field,â Dr. Borchard said. âNow with the Mako Robotic Arm, I have an incredibly powerful tool that compliments those techniques perfectly. The difference has been remarkable. I see less bleeding during surgery, less swelling after surgery and much faster recoveries.â
