Nano arthroscopy's potential impact on the orthopedic industry took top billing on the ODT website this past week.
Nano arthroscopy allows surgeons to perform procedures in smaller joints like the wrist, ankle, and elbow, as well as in injured or arthritic knees and shoulders by using a high-quality camera fixed on a needle-like device. In light of Arthrex's nano arthroscopy educational platorm, GlobalData expects the minimally invasive surgical technique to emerge as a transformative method and redefine treatment approaches in orthopedic patient care.
New technology drove significant traffic as well: University of Pittsburgh civil engineer Amir Alavi gained a considerable online following for his work in developing new materials that better treat spinal injury, repair, and recovery, while Enhatch amassed pageviews by gaining FDA 510(k) clearance for its patient-specific instrumentation system for total knee arthroplasty. The system features artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that convert patient X-rays or computed tomography images into detailed, 3D anatomic models for use in treatment plans. This creates personalized surgical guides more efficiently, according to the company.
Boston Scientific, meanwhile, attracted cybervisitors over the last seven days with its one-year SOLIS trial results that showed sustained pain relief using the WaveWriter Alpha spinal cord stimulation systems to treat non-surgical back pain, and Genesis Innovation Group followed suit by naming a new chief executive.
