Hao-Hua Wu, MD, performed with first case combining Orthofix’s Mariner deformity system with SMAIO’s KEOPS-4ME planning software and patient-specific K-rods, according to a Feb. 2 LinkedIn post.
The milestone case was completed on Jan. 28. The Mariner deformity system is a pedicle screw platform with modular, threaded technology, and KEOPS-4ME uses radiographic analysis and 3D reconstruction to plan surgeries.
“Patient specific instrumentation is the future, and I am glad we were able to deliver this high level of care to our patient,” Dr. Wu said in Orthofix’s post.
