I'm wondering, Dr. Vaccaro, from a clinical standpoint,

which innovations or care models do you think will meaningfully shift how orthopedic care is delivered in 2026?

Super important points there.

And it's,

A phrase that I often hear talking to orthopedic surgeons like yourself is the race to the bottom.

And yeah, I mean, I think that obviously the innovations that you just talked about would be great.

And I think that 2026 is really going to be the year of putting those things to practice, right?

Everyone was excited about AI and all this new technology and stuff.

And

2025, but now it's time to get to work.

So super great stuff there.

Obviously the orthopedic workforce is continuing to evolve from surgeons to APPs to care teams.

What are you prioritizing in 2026 to support your teams and really help them thrive?

Yeah, I think I think that's such a big topic to just across the board with orthopedics.

I know I've again talked to a lot of different surgeons who have mentioned just the importance of APPs to, you know, your everyday work.

So really great, great points there.

you kind of got into this, that Rothman has sort of tentacles in different places, which is a really fun way to put it, but Rothman really does have such a broad footprint.

What changes or investments are you planning to make next year?

Yep, absolutely.

I think, again, another common theme is technology.
