OrthoPediatrics Marks First Case With 3P Pediatric Plating Platform Hip System

OrthoPediatrics Corp. has launched in the United States the new 3P Pediatric Plating Platform Hip System, used to treat proximal femur fractures and deformities. The company also announced the system’s first surgical use case.

“This launch marks our inaugural Pediatric Plating Platform and underscores our commitment to expanding the platform into the most comprehensive plating portfolio in pediatric orthopedics,” OrthoPediatrics CEO David Bailey said.

Part of the Trauma & Deformity Correction suite of products, the 3P Hip System includes a Beam Screw construct and locking proximal femur plates available in infant, child, and adolescent sizes. The 3P Hip System integrates advanced implant and instrument technology to support both trauma and deformity surgeries, giving surgeons unmatched precision and a complete array of fixation options for proximal femur procedures, according to the company. The first surgical case for the 3P Pediatric Plating Platform Hip System utilizing the Beam Screw construct has been completed with positive feedback. Following the system launch, more than 10 cases were booked in August alone, with procedural volume expected to grow substantially in the coming months.

“The 3P Pediatric Plating Platform Hip System is an exceptional product that would not be possible without our design surgeons and development teams. By harnessing their insights and leveraging next-generation hardware, this system offers surgeons improved precision with additional fixation options. The demand being placed on implants continues to evolve, by addressing these new unmet needs while building upon this third-generation system will improve proximal femur care options,” OrthoPediatrics Trauma and Deformity/OPSB Division President Joe Hauser commented.
