DCMH uses AI technology to successfully complete hip surgery

(GREENSBURG, Ind.) – Decatur County Memorial Hospital has become the first hospital in the region to successfully complete a hip replacement procedure using OrthoGrid Hip AI.

OrthoGrid Hip AI is a surgeon-guided technology that provides real-time guidance during surgery to support implant positioning based on each patient's unique anatomy. 

It is operated by Dr. Eric Tannenbaum and the technology is designed to enhance surgical procedures without requiring additional incisions or implanted hardware.

"OrthoGrid allows me to confirm important measurements and make informed decisions with confidence during the procedure," said Dr. Eric Tannenbaum, Medical Director of Orthopedics at DCMH. "It helps DCMH continue providing high-quality care tailored to each patient's needs."

The hospital says this is another example of their commitment to providing access to innovative healthcare services.

"Introducing this new technology reflects our long-term commitment to the future of healthcare in our region by combining innovative technology with the exceptional physicians and caregivers our patients already know and trust,” DCMH CEO Rex McKinney added.
