On Thursday at the booth, attendees joined Sean Campbell. M.D., and Augustine Saiz, M.D., of UC Davis (Sacramento, CA) for an interactive case study presentation exploring their early clinical experiences with the Apex Tibial and Femoral Nails. They discussed various cases in which they used the device and the positive results they have seen, including enhanced callus formation, reliable fixation, and faster functional recovery in some challenging fracture patterns.

We ended the day enjoying great conversation and connections with colleagues at an IU Fellows Alumni event near the conference. A special thank-you to Roman Natoli, M.D. (IU Methodist), for sharing his experience using Apex Nails with micromotion technology in femoral shaft fracture cases.

Our Vertex Hip Fracture Nailing System (FDA-cleared, May 2024) brought about discussions related to intertrochanteric fractures and complications such as screw cutout, instability, and fixation challenges – topics explored in detail through OrthoXel’s recent Vertex HFN White Paper series. The series examined how implant design influences stability within the bone and compares the Vertex Hip Fracture Nailing System’s novel dual-screw, diverging configuration to leading traditional constructs.

Overall, the OTA Annual Meeting proved an overall successful opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals. From ongoing research in fracture fixation to clinical validation and real-world experiences, OrthoXel remains dedicated to supporting surgeons with implants designed to promote faster, more consistent healing. We’d like to thank everyone who stopped by our booth, attended the presentations, and shared their insights.
