Orthofix Medical Inc. (NASDAQ:OFIX), a leading global spine and orthopedics company, today announced the launch of the TrueLok Phantom and Tornado Hinges, the latest addition to the Orthopedics TrueLok circular frame portfolio. Both hinges are designed for use with TrueLok circular frame offerings, including the TrueLok EVO Ring Fixation System introduced globally last year.

“The TrueLok circular frame is the gold standard for external fixation for complex limb reconstruction and deformity correction procedures,” said Dr. David Frumberg, an orthopedic surgeon who directs the Limb Restoration and Lengthening Program in New Haven, Connecticut. “The introduction of the new Phantom and Tornado Hinges for the TrueLok system are important advancements that have changed how I apply circular frames by giving me the confidence that the patient will regain a more natural joint motion. The TrueLok EVO System with the Phantom Hinges has become my go-to construct for equinus deformity corrections amongst other applications.”

The TrueLok Phantom Hinge allows surgeons to achieve precise alignment when performing joint distraction or contracture correction procedures by maintaining the axis of rotation and joint mobility. The hinge is radiolucent, which makes it ideal for use with the TrueLok EVO System. The TrueLok Tornado Hinge features a flexible spring-like design that enables the natural joint motion to be restored following a joint distraction procedure. The Phantom Hinges and the Tornado Hinges are both for use in ankle and knee applications and sterile packaged for quick and easy use.
