The company has discussed four pillars within its orthopedics business: Limb Preservation, Extremity Deformity Correction, Limb Lengthening, and Complex Fracture Management, particularly in connection with its TrueLok™ family of external fixation systems.

TrueLok™ Elevate and Limb Reconstruction

A notable area of focus for Orthofix is the TrueLok™ Elevate Transverse Bone Transport (TBT) System. The company has announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance and European CE Mark for TrueLok Elevate, describing it as a limb preservation treatment option for addressing bony or soft tissue deformities and defects, such as diabetic foot ulcers and nonhealing or deep tissue wounds. Orthofix states that TrueLok Elevate is the first dedicated system for the TBT procedure to receive FDA clearance.

Orthofix has also announced the global commercial launch of TrueLok Elevate and describes it as part of its flagship TrueLok family of multiplanar external fixators, which includes TrueLok EVO and TL-HEX™ ring fixation systems. Company statements link TrueLok Elevate to the goal of expanding its presence in the diabetic wound and limb preservation markets.

7D FLASH™ Navigation System and Enabling Technologies
