INDUSTRY SESSION PODCAST: Harnessing Mechanobiology with Controlled Micromotion: A New Direction in Fracture Fixation. Sponsored by OrthoXel.
The OTA PodcastShow Notes
Drs. Roman Natoli and Michael Weaver discuss how implant biomechanics can influence the biological environment of fracture healing. They explore the principles behind controlled axial micromotion, early clinical experience with OrthoXel's Apex Micromotion Nailing Systems, and the research shaping its potential role in tibial and femoral fracture fixation. Learn more about the clinical evidence supporting micromotion technology on the OrthoXel website.
