Exactech’s Equinoxe scapula reconstruction system earned FDA 510(k) clearance, the company said July 9.
The system is designed for acromial and scapular spine fractures, according to a news release. Acromial and scapular fractures are a rare complication that can occur among rTSA implant designs. Equinoxe is reportedly the first system developed to address the complication.
The system has a range of plate designs, and each plate has one or more integral hooks to support the scapula and counteract the pull of the deltoid.
Orthopedic surgeons Jonathan Levy, MD; Howard Routman, DO; Peter Cole, MD; George Athwal, MD; Michael McKee, MD, and Joaquin Sanchez-Sotelo, MD, PhD, designed Equinoxe.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
