It recently happened to WNBA star Cameron Brink. Nebraska softball phenom Jordy Bahl also suffered the injury. But for years, the way an ACL tear was repaired was basically the same—until now. Orthopaedic surgeon Matthew Tao, MD, has a new way to fix ACLs and the first patient in Nebraska to have the procedure performed is now a year into her recovery. See how she's doing and what's different:

In a recent case study, a hospital's #orthopaedic store faced storage challenges until Shelfspan intervened with their innovative EKO Med Shelving system. The hospital was struggling with limited space and inefficient storage solutions, leading to difficulties in maximising capacity and controlling inventory effectively. Shelfspan's solution revolutionised the storage area, exploiting the full room space efficiently. By implementing the EKO Med Shelving system and replacing an old wooden system, the hospital was able to create a clean, hygienic, and adaptable storage solution that not only maximised space by taking full advantage of the corners but also enhanced efficiency, and provided a location for the storage of trolleys and care carts. With Shelfspan's assistance, the hospital's orthopaedic store achieved a remarkable transformation in a small space. The EKO Med system provided a systematic approach to organising inventory, allowing for better control and management of supplies. By optimising the storage space, the hospital can now store a larger quantity of products while maintaining a clean and hygienic environment. This resulted in improved efficiency, increased capacity utilisation, and better inventory control and a safer working environment. Overall, Shelfspan's innovative solution not only addressed the hospital's storage challenges but also paved the way for a more streamlined and effective orthopaedic store operation. #storagesolutions #healthcare #makingbetteruseofspace #ekomed
