On December 16, U.S. Orthopaedic Partners (USOP), the rapidly expanding network for private orthopaedic practices in the Southeastern United States, finalized a new partnership agreement with Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center (ASMOC).
U.S. Orthopedic Partners, a platform company of private equity firm FFL Partners, is a full-service, integrated orthopedic care platform that provides the full continuum of musculoskeletal treatment to patients in the Southeastern U.S. The USOP platform partners with industry-leading practices to deliver highly specialized insight, tools, resources, training, education and access to leading-edge technologies. USOP is also backed by The Thurston Group, a Chicago-based private equity firm specializing in healthcare deals.
Based in Birmingham, Alabama, Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center (ASMOC) is a national leader in the comprehensive treatment of orthopaedic and sports medicine injuries. The company has world-renowned physicians and surgeons, specializing in all areas of orthopaedics and sports medicine injury treatment and prevention. With six state-of-the-art facilities in Central Alabama, led by 21 world-class orthopaedic physicians offering surgical, non-surgical and injury prevention education, ASMOC is a recognized leader in the field.
The decision to partner with USOP will bring ASMOC even more opportunities to enhance patient care and continue growing the practice, supported by industry-leading practice management and performance resources.
The ASMOC partnership marks USOP’s sixth acquisition, bringing the total number of practice locations to 22 across Mississippi and Alabama. The Alabama-based company was formed in 2020 by FFL Partners’ acquisition of Jackson, Mississippi-based Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center. Since then, USOP has also formed partnerships with North Alabama Bone & Joint Clinic, Orthopaedic Institute of North Mississippi, Jackson Anesthesia Pain Center and Oxford Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, PLLC.
