Orthofix's TrueLok EVO ring fixation system for limb reconstruction was cleared by the FDA and used in U.S. patients.
The system is the only circular fixator on the market with radiolucent rings and struts, according to a March 16 news release. The rings and struts enable clear radiographic visualization and let surgeons better assess bone anatomy during and after procedures.
Amgad Haleem, MD, PhD, of the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City, completed the first U.S. cases, the release said.
