OrthoArizona

PHOENIX – October 29, 2026 -- Dr. Jason Patterson of OrthoArizona is the first surgeon worldwide to perform total ankle replacement with Stryker's Prophecy Incompass patient-specific instrumentation, completing three procedures in July 2026.

Prophecy builds a 3D-printed surgical guide from the patient's CT scan

The system uses each patient's own CT scan to produce a custom 3D-printed guide before surgery begins. Paired with Stryker's Incompass total ankle system, it lets surgeons switch between stemmed and pegged implants mid-procedure if the exposed joint anatomy requires it.

Patterson has used CT-guided, patient-specific instrumentation for ankle replacement since 2015. He said the latest generation makes implant placement more consistent and surgery more efficient. In his words, the technology lets him plan around a specific patient's anatomy "instead of relying on a generic template."

Glendale, Ariz. – September 08, 2026 -- OrthoArizona has opened a $25 million, 50,000-square-foot orthopedic center at 9070 W. Glendale Ave., adjacent to Westgate and State Farm Stadium, combining surgery, imaging and therapy under one roof.

New campus consolidates full care pathway in a single building

The Glendale facility houses comprehensive musculoskeletal care, an on-site ambulatory surgery center, physical therapy and advanced imaging, including MRI, allowing patients to move from first visit to full recovery at one location. Dr. Rajan Bhatt, chief executive officer of OrthoArizona, said the group has grown since 1994 by staying close to the communities it serves, calling Glendale the clearest expression of that strategy.
