Fusion Orthopedics has bolstered its product portfolio by adding Metalogix external fixation systems. The company said the transition of Metalogix’s operations, distribution, and hospital accounts to Fusion is substantially complete.

Metalogix expands Fusion Ortho’s solutions with Circular Static Frames, Dynamic Frames, Delta Frames, and a soon-to-be-released, novel Mini-Rail System. Metalogix is most commonly known for its Revolution EPS, a new generation of external fixation systems for long bone fractures, limb lengthening, and bone correction.

Revolution EPS’ open-back concept frame allows for improved limb access, according to Fusion Ortho. It can reduce swelling complications and allows use of smaller plates for more stability.

One key components of Revolution EPS is patented Revolution Cold Forged Wire Tups, which were designed with a drill/flute configuration for easier insertion to reduce thermal necrosis. In testing, the technology maintained precision sharpness over 50 uses. Revolution EPS also touts 180-Degree Lockable Swivel Struts, which give the surgeon the ability to attach one ring plate to another at any reasonable angle needed to fit a specific patient’s limb.

Another key element the Revolution Trauma System, containing the Revolution T Multi-Pin Clamp and the Revolution T Z-Post, which both use the patented pin-to-pin super struts and patented multi-pin clamp. The Revolution Trauma System allows for a wide variety of pin-to-pin super strut configurations for various surgical conditions, including but not limited to, distal tibial fractures and ankle fractures.

The patented pin-to-pin super struts can be attached directly to half-pins as well as assorted Steinmann Pins to simplify the frame’s assembly, as well as be acutely adjusted and subsequently fine-tuned for micro-compression and distraction. The patented multi-pin clamp can accommodate up to three half pins, which can be inserted at a divergent angle or perpendicular to the bone, with the 30° angled horns being adjusted and locked into any desired angle a surgeon may need.

“The Metalogix milestone is a symbol of Fusion’s commitment to dominance within Foot and Ankle as we continue to realize hyper-growth as a profitable business,” said Adam Cundiff, CEO of Fusion Orthopedics.

“Fusion Orthopedics shares our values and commitment to excellence, and I am confident they will achieve great things,” added Ben Coburn, CEO of Metalogix.

In March 2023, Fusion Ortho and Treace Medical Concepts announced they had come to an amicable resolution of previous litigation between the two parties.
