OrthoPediatrics Corp. and Mighty Oak Medical have reached a major milestone in their partnership.
OrthoPediatrics announced that surgeons recently performed the 1,000th case using Mighty Oak's FIREFLY Pedicle Screw Navigation Guides.
“Our ongoing partnership with Mighty Oak Medical is something we are very proud of, and celebrating 1,000 successful cases is a great milestone," said David Bailey, president and CEO of OrthoPediatrics. "The FIREFLY technology is a great offering as we continue to provide pediatric orthopedic surgeons with innovative solutions to treat kids with scoliosis. Together, we are advancing healthcare for children all over the world.”
FIREFLY—often used in conjunction with OrthoPediatrics’ RESPONSE Spine System—provides increased efficiency by utilizing data-driven, pre-surgical planning for optimizing size and trajectory of the pedicle screws when performing complex spinal surgeries. The 3D printed patient-specific guides reduce the need for intraoperative radiation and make accurate pedicle screw placement more efficient. This technology is a unique and cost-effective alternative to complex and expensive navigation systems. OrthoPediatrics has been the exclusive distributor of the FIREFLY technology in children’s hospitals throughout the United States since August 2017.
Englewood, Colo.-based Mighty Oak Medical is an independent incubator focused on developing and marketing spinal technologies that improve operating room efficiencies, surgical outcomes, and the overall patient experience, by leveraging the talents of experienced surgeons and biomedical engineers.

As such it has developed the most comprehensive product offering to the pediatric orthopedic market to improve the lives of children with orthopedic conditions.

This product offering spans trauma and deformity, scoliosis, and sports medicine/other procedures.
