Patient Specific 3D Printed implant set to market globally

16 January 2019 | News

Additive Orthopaedics is an early stage orthopaedic company focused on the integration of advanced manufacturing and biologics for the benefit of a better patient outcome.

Additive Orthopaedics, LLC., the leader in 3D printed orthopaedic foot and ankle devices, announces that is has received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Patient Specific 3D Printed Locking Lattice Plates indicated for alignment, stabilization and fusion of fractures, osteotomies and arthrodesis of small bones such as the foot and ankle.    

According to Greg Kowalczyk, President of Additive Orthopaedics, "There will always be a need for traditional off-the-shelf orthopedic devices, but in cases of implant revisions, limb salvage, and trauma, using printing to manufacture a patient-specific device can potentially lead to a better outcome.  Although we are still in the early stages for 3D printed patient-specific implants, it has been a terrific journey developing the market in foot and ankle orthopaedics."

Patient-specific implants will be the cornerstone of Game Plan™, an integrated surgical planning system launching later this year.
