The Flower Orthopedics FlowerCube® system in first metatarsal phalangeal joint fusions led to a 33 percent reduction in intraoperative time compared to using traditional implants, according to a multicenter, prospective, IRB approved clinical trial.
Three things to know:
1. The FlowerCube is a single-use sterile implant and instrument system. It is part of the suite of Flower Orthopedics Ready-for-SurgeryTM foot and ankle solutions.
2. Using a FlowerCube also saved over $1,300 in third-party reimbursement costs when performed at an ambulatory surgery center compared to traditional implants.
3. Patients achieved 98.59% joint union by 12 weeks post-surgery, which is consistent with prior literature.
