New innovations in knee and spine repair were tops among website visitors this week.
Miach Orthopaedics' introduced its BEAR implant in select U.S. cities for treating ACL tears, one of the most common knee injuries in America. Considered a paradigm shift from the current standard of care (reconstruction with a graft), the proprietary bio-engineered BEAR implant restores ACL quality and size similar to the non-injured anterior cruciate ligament, results in faster recovery of muscle strength, and has a better patient satisfaction record. The implant also does not require a graft, and thereby eliminates the need for a second wound site, additional healing time, and concerns about donor graft quality and disease risk.
Medtronic plc's vice president and general manager of Spine and Biologics spoke to Editor-in-Chief Sean Fenske about minimally invasive spinal technologies, while Philips touted its first successful treatment using its 3D augmented reality spine navigation solution. Surgeons in Spain and Oman performed surgeries using the company's integrated Spine Solution, which offers the Azurion Hybrid Operating Room with ClarifEye, an industry-first solution that combines 2D and 3D visualizations at low X-ray dose with 3D AR navigation into one system.
Amplify Surgical Inc. followed Philips' lead this week in announcing the first dualPortal Endoscopic Spine procedure at UCLA Health, supported with the firm's enabling technologies.
