Their partnership combines Orthofix’s Fitbone intramedullary nail system with Limacorporate’s patient-specific, 3D-printed pelvic fixation device, according to a July 13 news release. The device aims to distract the femur to a correct position, adjust a leg-length discrepancy and allow for a hip replacement.
“This solution will be the only offering in the U.S. for certain patients with hip dysplasia or abnormalities of the hip leading to leg-length discrepancy and reflects the strength and versatility of the Fitbone platform,” Kimberley Elting, president of Orthofix Orthopedics, said in the release.
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.
