LimaCorporate and Orthofix Medical entered into a licensing partnership to provide a novel solution for patients with chronic high dislocation of the hip in the U.S.
The partnership combines the limb-lengthening technology of Orthofix’s Fitbone™ intramedullary nail with LimaCorporate’s proprietary, patient specific 3D-printed pelvic fixation device. Once surgically implanted, the devices work together to distract the femur to an anatomically-correct position, thereby correcting the leg-length discrepancy, reducing strain on the spine and allowing for a total hip replacement to follow.
LimaCorporate’s ProMade 3D-printed custom service incorporates design and manufacturing in its PoC Center, located at the main campus of Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City.
The Fitbone system consists of 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.
