This lab with Advita Ortho looked a little different than usual. Along with multiple surgical procedures, a production team was on-site capturing surgical techniques to create educational content for future training.

It’s always exciting to see our labs serve as a space not only for hands-on learning, but also for developing resources that help advance surgical education beyond the lab.
