Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
Minimally invasive bunion surgery is an alternative to traditional surgery that can reduce post-surgical scarring, swelling, pain and offers patients easier recovery. With a tiny incision, patients only need a sedative during the procedure; the doctor often closes with a butterfly bandage instead of stitches; and there’s significantly less swelling at the incision site. This all leads to a much quicker recovery than with traditional bunion surgery.
How 3D Printing is Impacting the Orthopedic Industry
As the orthopedic market continues to grow, embracing additive manufacturing is becoming essential for manufacturers looking to stay competitive. The benefits of 3D printing, including speed to market, design freedom, and waste reduction, are desirable for the medical device industry.
One of the primary advantages of additive manufacturing is the ability to expedite the product development cycle. Additive manufacturing’s ability to excel at rapid prototyping eliminates lengthy processes and costs, allowing for a more dynamic and design-driven process. 3D model updates facilitate an iterative design process, reducing the number of steps and lead time required. This significantly minimizes the time and financial resources spent retooling.
Limb Lengthening Surgery
Limb lengthening surgery is a procedure that gradually makes an arm or leg bone longer. This procedure treats skeletal dysplasia, bone growth issues and bone length differences. Limb lengthening surgery treats discrepancies (differences) in the length of arms or legs. It can also treat some conditions that cause bone growth irregularities or shorter bone length. Your provider may recommend limb lengthening surgery if you have
