Starr Frame Orion Debuts for Pelvic Ring Reduction

Starr Frame introduced Starr Frame Orion, a next generation system for closed reduction surgery to treat pelvic ring and acetabular fractures.

The curved design of the Starr Frame Orion facilitates the use of emerging imaging modalities intraoperatively to provide better images for surgeons, resulting in even more precise reductions. In addition, Orion offers surgeons improved reach around the patient on the operating table and better access to the surgical site.

Like the first-generation Starr Frame, the Starr Frame Orion features a high-strength and radiolucent carbon fiber construction, ensuring excellent visibility during fluoroscopic imaging. A one-piece design offers strength and stability in support of percutaneous procedures.

Used in conjunction with the Reinert Reduction Instrument Set and the Starr Frame family of orthopedic pins, the Starr Frame and Starr Frame Orion provide advantages for patients, surgeons and hospitals, including:

• Minimally invasive fracture repair: facilitates percutaneous reduction, significantly reducing lowering surgical time while reducing soft tissue damage and blood loss. The Starr Frame maintains the reduction during imaging and the application of internal fixation.
• Facilitated reduction: allows for the controlled application of consistent reduction forces, resulting in a more efficient and effective reduction process.
• Precise correction: surgeons can proceed in a stepwise fashion, gradually and precisely correcting the deformity, leading to higher quality and more accurate reductions.
• Improved patient outcomes: percutaneous reduction virtually eliminates costly postoperative wound infections, reduces time under anesthesia, and minimizes soft tissue damage, resulting in quicker patient recovery from surgery and faster time to rehabilitation.
