Aliso Viejo, Calif.-based OrthAlign announced the completion of the 60,000th joint arthroplasty case using the medical device company's technology.
Here are four things to know:
1. David. W. Anderson, MD, of Kansas City-based University of Kansas Medical Center used KneeAlign in the 60,000th OrthAlign case.
2. Dr. Anderson said, "My patients don't have as much swelling when OrthAlign technology is used, as I don't have to enter the femoral canal. I believe this is a good system for me, my OR staff, and most importantly, for my patients."
3. OrthAlign's handheld precision alignment and positioning technology is widely-used by surgeons around the world and has been analyzed in over 15 published peer-reviewed clinical studies.
4. The company's devices may be used to align and position components in total knee, unicondylar knee and total hip arthroplasty surgeries.
