Orthofix Medical announced the first U.S. pediatric patient implanted with the Fitboneâ„¢ intramedullary lengthening system implant for lengthening of the femur and tibia bones.
The Fitbone system is the only intramedullary limb lengthening solution cleared by FDA for pediatric and adult use, and is available in 9mm, 11mm and 13mm sizes to address the specific needs of patients.
The system is now compatible with the OrthoNextâ„¢ digital platform, the only software tool in the market for deformity analysis and preoperative planning for pediatric and adult orthopedic procedures. OrthoNext software features a reverse planning method module that simulates the target position, osteotomy level and blocking screw placement.
Fitbone comprises the implanted intramedullary nail, a subcutaneously implanted receiver and an external control set that enables the patient or their caregiver to manage the distraction phase at home. The system is designed to provide accurate and controlled limb lengthening, with more than 3,500 cases performed in 15 countries since its development. With appropriate preoperative planning, it allows achievement of axial and torsional bone alignment intraoperatively, as part of the limb-lengthening procedure.
