First-ever functional, patient-specific hip replacement procedures performed in the USA (press release)
Corin is excited to announce that during the week of November 7, the first-ever functional, patient specific hip replacement procedures were performed using its Optimized Positioning System (OPS™). Corin’s OPS™ is the first FDA-cleared technology to help surgeons achieve functional, patient-specific component alignment in total hip replacement.
“Corin’s OPS™ technology optimizes the orientation of each individual patient's acetabular component by incorporating functional assessments into the planning phase. The system allows surgeons to understand the biomechanics of each patient’s pelvis during daily activities, creating the critical inputs required to optimize surgical outcomes and streamline procedural workflows,” said Jim Pierrepont, PhD, Corin's Head of Technology.
During the course of the week over 25 OPS™ surgeries were performed at ten centers by Dr Steven Barnett of Orthopaedic Specialty Institute in Orange County, CA; Dr Michael Bradley of South County Orthopaedics in Wakefield, RI; Dr H. John Cooper of New York Orthopaedics in New York, NY; Dr Todd Kelley of Universit...
