Center for Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Surgery

What Center for Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Surgery does

Center for Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Surgery (CSMO) is a private, single-site ambulatory surgery center headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee, specializing in orthopaedic surgery, sports medicine, total joint replacement, spine surgery, and interventional pain management. The 37,992-square-foot facility features 8 surgical suites (including an integration room with live video capabilities), 2 interventional pain management suites, and 40 pre- and post-operative recovery rooms. CSMO deploys advanced robotic surgery technology, including the VELYS and Mako systems, for precision total knee and joint replacement procedures. The practice is staffed by board-certified physicians delivering evidence-based orthopaedic care across a broad procedural range including ACL repair, arthroscopic surgery, fracture care, hand/elbow surgery, foot/ankle surgery, and carpal tunnel release.

The company operates a diversified, multi-channel go-to-market model: patient acquisition is driven by physician referrals, self-referral through urgent ortho walk-in clinics, workers' compensation program partnerships, and direct online scheduling via a patient portal. Supporting ancillary services include C4 Sports Therapy and Performance Training, diagnostic imaging (X-ray, MRI), OrthoBiologics treatments, certified athletic training programs, and rehabilitation services, creating an integrated care continuum under one roof. The facility integrates standard healthcare IT platforms including Athena Health (EHR/patient portal), One Medical Passport (pre-registration), and Patient Notebook (online bill payment).

Revenue streams are generated primarily from surgical procedures (spine, total joint replacement, sports medicine, fracture care), specialist consultations and pre/post-operative evaluations, interventional pain management procedures, and on-site imaging services. CSMO holds a 5 Star PRC Excellence Award for overall hospital rating in outpatient surgery. A new 37,500-square-foot ambulatory surgery center was under construction as of Summer 2023 at the corner of Walker and Tyner Roads, signaling capacity expansion within the Chattanooga regional market. Ownership structure is not publicly disclosed but appears to be held privately, likely by physician partners.
