The companies collaborated to provide a novel solution for chronic high dislocation of the hip in the US & enables surgeons to divert the femur into a proper position thus resolving the leg-length disparity, reducing strain on the spine & enabling a total hip replacement
The collaboration will combine the limb-lengthening technology of Orthofix’s patented Fitbone intramedullary nail system with LimaCorporate’s 3D-printed pelvic fixation device to provide technologies for hip dysplasia or abnormalities of the hip
The US FDA compassionate use exemption will grant access to the new solution. LimaCorporate’s ProMade 3D-printed custom service combines design & manufacture in its PoC Center located at HSS in New York City
