## Resource

Orthopedic procedures are increasingly moving to ambulatory surgery centers, but many navigation technologies remain too expensive, complex, or inefficient for that setting. In this episode, Nic Aldrich, Vice President of Marketing at OrthAlign, discusses how handheld navigation technology is making precision orthopedic care more accessible. He explains how OrthAlign helps surgeons reduce variability, execute patient-specific plans, and bring advanced technology into total hip, knee, partial knee, and revision procedures. Nic also shares how the newly cleared Lantern ASC system was designed specifically for surgery centers, balancing accuracy with cost, speed, and ease of use. Tune in to learn how smaller, more efficient technologies are helping expand access to precision orthopedic care. Resources: Connect with and follow Nic Aldrich on LinkedIn.
