February 16, 2017

CASTEL SAN PIETRO, Switzerland–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Building on its success in the hip, knee and spine product areas, family-owned orthopedics leader Medacta International is expanding into the shoulder arthroplasty market. The company today announced the completion of the first surgery utilizing its Medacta Shoulder System, performed by Professor Ralph Hertel in Bern, Switzerland.

“The procedure was a success,” said Professor Hertel, who has specialized in shoulder and elbow surgery for more than two decades. “As expected, the early postoperative phase and hospital stay were uneventful, and the patient is on a smooth path to recovery. We’re very pleased.”

Designed by a group of expert surgeons from Europe, Australia and the United States, the Medacta Shoulder System also offers the flexibility to move from a total to reverse arthroplasty without the need to revise all components.

“The most important consideration in orthopedics and joint replacement is not only to improve implant design, but also to elevate design standards. With the Medacta Shoulder System, we aim to solve the issues related to implant design, polyethylene wear and the reproducibility of results,” said Francesco Siccardi, Executive Vice President of Medacta International.

Osteosynthesis Devices Market is Expected to Reach a Value of USD 9.9 Billion by 2024

The osteosynthesis devices market size is expected to reach a value of USD 9.9 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The worldwide prevalence of conditions like osteoporosis and osteomalacia, coupled with heavily occurring road traffic injuries/accidents and sporting injuries support the demand for osteosynthesis devices worldwide.

Osteoporosis, a disease resulting in weakening of bones is responsible for causing more than 8.9 million fractures annually. Forearm, humerus, hip and spine are the most commonly affected areas in patients suffering from the disease. The incidence and economic burden of osteoporosis is increasing worldwide, and patients 65 years old or over are at maximum risk of getting affected.

The geriatric population accounted for 46.2 million in 2014, and is increasingly rising. It is projected that by the year 2060, the number of older population will be twice than that of 2014. The rising incidence of osteoporosis and increasing count of the geriatric population is expected to drive demand for osteosynthesis devices in the coming years.

On the other hand, road traffic deaths are at the focal point of a crisis facing public health and development. The WHO reported that accidents/injuries majorly affect the low- and middle-income countries. Road accidents can cause severe injuries such as broken bones and fractures and requires immediate orthopediccare and attention.

Orthopedic Devices Market Global Briefing 2017

LONDON, Feb. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Orthopedic devices are used for restoring skeletal structure and joint movements in various fractures, abnormal growth of bones, soft tissue damage, trauma or other deformities. These devices are implanted by surgical procedures or can be externally attached through minimally invasive procedures. Orthopedic devices can be classified as joint implants, internal and external fixation devices.

Americas was the largest region in the orthopedic devices market in 2016, accounting for around 40% of the market share. Europe was the second largest region accounting for over 30% of the market share. Asia was the third largest region accounting for around 16% of the market share.

Biodegradable implants are increasingly being used in trauma orthopedic surgeries. Biodegradable implants are used to replace a missing biological structure, support a damaged biological structure, and enhance the existing bone structure. Biodegradable products such as reabosorbable polymers composed of polyglycolic acid and poly lactic acid manufactured in the form of plates, screws, and pins are replacing traditional devices like plates and screws which are more expensive. Surgeons are preferring biodegradable implants to replace conventional implants, as biodegradable implants can be engineered to provide temporary support for bone fractures; can degrade at a rate matching new tissue formation; can eliminate the need for second surgery, are highly useful in fracture fixation in children; and result in less implant related infections. For instance, Stryker Corp. offers orthrobiologics such as bone repair biodegradable products that are used in bone regeneration and bone healing, soft tissue regeneration and muscle connection to bone.

Hospital For Special Surgery Collaborates With Stamford Health

STAMFORD, Conn. — Stamford Health and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) formally announced a collaboration to create the premier center for advanced orthopedic care serving Connecticut and New England.

HSS Orthopedics at Stamford Health will provide a level of inpatient and ambulatory care unrivaled in the region. Under the collaboration, Stamford Health will adopt HSS best practices across the entire orthopedic service line, and surgeons from HSS in New York City will be providing care through HSS Orthopedics at Stamford Hospital.

HSS is the world’s leading academic medical center focused on musculoskeletal health and has been ranked the No. 1 hospital for orthopedics in the U.S. for the past seven consecutive years by U.S News & World Report. HSS leads the field of orthopedics nationwide for successful outcomes, and lowest infection, complication and revision rates.

“We believe this strategic and innovative relationship with HSS will elevate our institution to the forefront of musculoskeletal services and further differentiate us from others in the region,” said Brian G. Grissler, President and CEO, Stamford Health. “Through this collaboration, we will create a new Department of Orthopedic Surgery that integrates best practices and expands our capabilities.”

“We are drawing upon the very best skills, talent and resources of HSS and Stamford Health in what is truly a transformational collaboration between our two organizations,” said Louis A. Shapiro, President and CEO, Hospital for Special Surgery. “This revolutionary alliance will bring world-class orthopedic care closer to home for thousands of Connecticut residents, so fewer will need to leave the state for such care.”

HSS Orthopedics at Stamford Health will be available on a dedicated fifth floor of the acclaimed new Stamford Hospital building late this year, and later this month at Tully Health Center.

“Stamford Health has been providing tertiary care to the residents of Fairfield County for more than 120 years,” Grissler said. “Building upon our existing foundation of service, Magnet status nursing and a brand new hospital, this collaboration will take their orthopedic services to the next level.”

HSS has provided pre-, post- and non-surgical care in Connecticut since 2001. The 20,000 square foot HSS Outpatient Center at Chelsea Piers Connecticut in Stamford will continue to provide those services, as will the neighboring HSS-Stamford Health Sports Rehab facility.

Zimmer Biomet Announces the International Release of the Innovative Subchondroplasty® Procedure

WARSAW, Ind., Feb. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (NYSE and SIX: ZBH), a global leader in musculoskeletal healthcare, announced today the international release of the Subchondroplasty® (SCP®) Procedure.  The Company received CE Mark approval for the commercialization of its SCP Procedure to facilitate distribution in the European Union (EU) and other countries that recognize the CE Mark.  Zimmer Biomet also received approval for distribution in Canada, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong.

The SCP Procedure is a minimally invasive outpatient intervention that addresses the defects associated with subchondral bone marrow lesions (BMLs). Diagnosed using an MRI and physical exam, BMLs are associated with stress fractures or micro-fractures of the bone adjacent to the joint. Left untreated, these defects may lead to cartilage degeneration, limited function, pain and a greater risk for joint deterioration.

SCP is performed to repair chronic BMLs by filling them with AccuFill® Bone Substitute Material, a porous injectable calcium phosphate (CaP). The bone substitute is then slowly resorbed and replaced with healthy bone, repairing the bone defect.

The procedure is usually performed along with arthroscopy for visualization and treatment of findings inside the joint. In some cases, an open or mini-open procedure is necessary for access to the defect.

“The Subchondroplasty procedure addresses a previously unmet need in my practice for patients with chronic and painful bone marrow lesions,” said Dr. Christopher Baker, orthopaedic surgeon at Florida Orthopedic Institute in Tampa, Fla. “These patients no longer benefit from conservative treatment, yet are not ready for total joint replacement surgery.”

Initially used only in bone defects of the knee, the SCP Procedure has been successfully performed in other areas including bones of the foot, ankle and hip. Zimmer Biomet now owns 36 patents and eight trademarks in this area, with numerous others still pending.

“The international release of the Subchondroplasty Procedure is a major milestone for our company and for patients with chronic bone marrow lesions,” said David Nolan, Zimmer Biomet Group President, Biologics, Extremities, Sports Medicine, Surgical, Trauma, Foot and Ankle, Office Based Technologies and Zimmer Biomet Signature Solutions. “The procedure offers a tool that fills a gap in the patient treatment algorithm for the surgeon. We are eager to begin our international commercial launch.”

Flower Orthopedics Launches FlowerAdvantage, an Ambulatory Surgery Center Efficiency and Savings Partnership

HORSHAM, Pa., Feb. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Flower Orthopedics, the leader in Ready-For-Surgery™ extremity implant systems, announces the release of its FlowerAdvantage™ Program, a multi-level initiative designed to reduce the costs of providing care in the ambulatory surgery center setting.  “The FlowerAdvantage™ Program has four pillars that generate costs savings and positively impact the operations of surgery centers, while providing patients with the highest standard of care,” said Oliver Burckhardt, President and CEO of Flower Orthopedics.

The four pillars of costs savings in the FlowerAdvantage™ Program are FlowerBucketPrice™ where all components needed for the case are identified, bundled and sold without any hidden or extra costs; Flower ECO Implant™ Line is a value based implant portfolio capable of accommodating challenging reimbursement scenarios; FlowerBuyBack™ Program allows the surgery center to sell back to Flower used single-use instruments from the case; and Flower Ready-For-Surgery™ eliminates operational costs associated with processing trays, inherent case delays & cancellations, and infection risks.

“The FlowerAdvantage™ Program meets a significant unmet need in the outpatient surgery market. With bundled payments and other initiatives driving down reimbursements, surgery centers must find other means to cut costs without diminishing patient care,” said Mr. Burckhardt.  The FlowerAdvantage™ Program provides costs savings through the efficiency-based value proposition that other companies cannot provide. The Ready-For-Surgery FlowerCube™ relieves the burden of the surgery center to clean, sterilize, track and manage implant trays, saving considerable time and cost. Flower is focused on providing its customers with many options that improve the level of patient care, while reducing the costs incurred by the healthcare system as a whole.

About Flower: Flower Orthopedics was founded in 2012 to develop technologies that drive efficiencies translating into cost savings for all stakeholders in healthcare.
