OrthoPediatrics announced limited launch and the completion of the first clinical case using the GIRO Growth Modulation System.
The GIRO tether is indicated for pediatric patients to aid in the correction of angular deformities of long bones and limb length discrepancy. Two configurations of the system are available, the GIRO Screw configuration for deformities in the femur and tibia, humerus, radius and ulna or ankle and the GIRO Post for limb length discrepancy of the femur and tibia. The GIRO Growth Modulation system represents the first new Pega Medical system to receive FDA clearance and be launched under OrthoPediatrics and the company’s 50th system for pediatric orthopedic care.
The first case was completed last week to treat a patient’s bilateral femoral anteversion without additional osteotomy, making this a less invasive procedure with shorter recovery time and less risk of complications.
