Fusion Orthopedics USA LLC has expanded its product portfolio with the addition of the Metalogix External Fixation Systems. Solutions now offered by the company include Circular Static Frames, Dynamic Frames, Delta Frames, and a novel Mini-Rail System.

“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,” Fusion Orthopedics CEO Adam Cundiff said.

Metalogix is renowned for the Revolution EPS, a new generation of external fixation systems designed for long bone fractures, limb lengthening, and bone correction. The Revolution EPS and Revolution Trauma products are now available for all current Fusion and former Metalogix-qualified distributors in U.S. markets.

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

The technology features innovative designs engineered for strength and comfort. The Revolution EPS’s proprietary open back concept frame allows for improved limb access for surgeons and hospital staff, reduces swelling complications and allows for the use of smaller plates for more stability.

One of the many key components to the Revolution EPS is the patented Revolution Cold Forged Wire Tips, specifically designed with a drill/flute configuration for easier insertion, which may reduce thermal necrosis. In testing, the Cold Forged Tip Technology maintained precision sharpness in more than 50 uses. Keeping with Fusion’s aim to provide patient specific solutions, the Revolution EPS also features 180-degree lockable swivel struts, which give surgeons the ability to attach one ring plate to another at any reasonable angle needed to fit a specific patient’s limb.

“Metalogix is one of the most innovative external fixators. It will continue to revolutionize external fixation with its simplistic and efficient application,” Dr. Rich Derner, DPM, said.

Another key element of the Revolution EPS is the Revolution Trauma System, containing the Revolution T Multi-Pin Clamp and the Revolution T Z-Post, which both utilize 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. These 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. Additionally, 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-degree angled horns being adjusted and locked into any desired angle a surgeon may need.

“The Metalogix devices align with Fusion’s dedication to provide ‘Everything Better’ in an effort to improve patients’ lives. These frames are incredible,” Fusion Orthopedics President Nathan Peterson commented.

“I am excited about Fusion Orthopedics and Metalogix, combining cutting-edge surgical technology to advance care in foot, ankle, and trauma surgery,” Alan Yan, M.D., added. ” I look forward to working with the engineers and skilled surgical teams, to drive continuous improvements and deliver the best possible outcomes for patients.”
