We put up the utilization of implants and the price of those implants.
And then we together make decisions.
So we have autonomy.
but we have to make autonomy not in our own clinical vacuum, but rather as it relates to the business and making a viable orthopedic practice.
And that can be challenging for some.
I mean, that really, some physicians don't like that.
They're like, I'm forced to do X, Y, and Z. Well, they're not being forced.
It's the macroeconomics that are forcing us to do it together.
But if you don't,
there's really no way out of it because we're in private practice.
But even if our physician said, well, I don't want to do this, I want to go be employed.
Well, as an employed surgeon, many times that decision is made by a committee or someone that the physicians have almost no autonomy.
So I would say the new term would probably be collective autonomy versus individual autonomy for private practices and orthopedic enterprises to survive and thrive in 2026 and beyond.
I think it will have to.
I mean, you know, for things like orthopedics and musculoskeletal care, many of the procedures can be relatively standardized, right?
So take carpal tunnel, take shoulder replacement, take lumbar spine surgery, singular two-level fusions or hip or knee replacement.
You shouldn't have a wide variability.
And sometimes surgeons don't like that because they have their own nuance they want to impart on it.
But you're going to have to justify anything that is sort of
outside of a standardized value-based and evidence-based protocol.
