Stryker recently announced the successful completion of the first hip arthroscopy procedure using its SportSuite Vision application on Apple Vision Pro at Duke Health. The milestone follows the FDA’s De Novo authorization for the application in July, making it the first surgical application approved for intraoperative use with Apple’s mixed reality headset.

Following the FDA’s De Novo authorization on July 17, SportSuite Vision became the first application cleared for intraoperative use with Apple Vision Pro, establishing a new regulatory benchmark for spatial computing in the operating room. The first live use of the technology took place during a hip arthroscopy at Duke Health, where orthopedic surgeon Chad Mather III performed the procedure, demonstrating the platform’s transition from regulatory clearance to real-world clinical adoption at a nationally recognized academic medical center.
