In February, the FDA approved multiple new devices, most notably, OrhtoNovis’ BPS Wrist facture system and Gyder Surgical’s GYDER Hip System. 

The BPS wirst fractire system is a line of locking wrist plates indicated for the fixation of simple and complex intra-articular and extra-articular fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius. The GYDER Hip System is touted as the world’s first commercially available non-invasive (pinless), image-less solution for accurate acetabular cup positioning during anterior hip arthroplasty.
