FIRST SURGERIES COMPLETED WITH PATIENT-SPECIFIC 3D PRINTED IMPLANTS PRODUCED AT THE LIMACORPORATE PROMADE POINT OF CARE CENTER AT HOSPITAL FOR SPECIAL SURGERY
UDINE, Italy, March 9, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
LimaCorporate S.p.A., leading global orthopedics manufacturer, and Hospital for
Special Surgery (HSS), consistently ranked number one in orthopedics globally
by Newsweek and nationally by U.S. News & World Report in the U.S., today
announced a new milestone in their collaboration. The first patient-specific
solutions designed and produced at the ProMade Point of Care Center for Complex
Orthopedic Solutions at HSS (ProMade PoC) were successfully used in two complex
joint reconstruction surgeries.
One case was a hip procedure performed by hip and knee surgeon Robert L. Buly
[https://www.hss.edu/physicians_buly-robert.asp], MD, at HSS in New York City,
while the other was a shoulder procedure performed by orthopedic surgeon
Patrick Connor, MD, at the OrthoCarolina Center in Charlotte N.C.
Luigi Ferrari, LimaCorporate CEO, stated, "The successful completion of these
first two ProMade surgeries produced at the ProMade PoC Center is a source of
pride for LimaCorporate. It demonstrates what can be achieved when our
technology and know-how are combined with leading expert surgeons, such as Dr.
Buly and Dr. Connor, and the visionary health care institution of HSS. We're
all united by the same goal: to advance patient care and to restore the eMotion
of Motion."
The ProMade PoC Center offers the opportunity for enhanced collaboration
between the design and manufacturing engineers and the surgeons to develop
patient-specific solutions before being 3D printed in the onsite facility. It
reduces by weeks the time to surgery and has become a resource available not
only to HSS physicians, but to providers and hospitals throughout the U.S.
"The accessibility of the ProMade PoC Center is greatly beneficial to providers
to meet the needs of patients with especially unique cases," said Dr. Connor.
"Such customized solutions may provide a viable opportunity to those
individuals who face very limited options for reconstruction and improve the
chances for success."
Dr. Buly added, "3D printing has advantages over conventional machining
particularly for the ease with which very complex shapes can be made. It is
important for orthopedic implants to match the anatomical requirements of the
individual, and I'm thrilled to have addressed my unique case in collaboration
with ProMade engineers to develop a patient-specific component and expedite
what was once a time-intensive, international production process."
The center, established through a long-standing strategic relationship between
HSS and LimaCorporate, is an FDA-regulated commercial facility located at the
HSS main campus in New York City. The aim of this innovative, first of its
kind project is to provide faster and more accessible care for U.S. patients
requiring personalized and unique complex joint replacement solutions.
"We couldn't be more excited to see our vision for the ProMade PoC Center
realized with these first patient-specific implants," said Louis A. Shapiro,
President and CEO of HSS. "HSS has always been focused on advancing the field
of orthopedics, and we're proud to offer solutions that benefit providers and
patients across the country. This center and our ongoing partnership with
LimaCorporate represent HSS' innovative spirit. By sharing our knowledge and
creating new levels of access to custom 3D printing capabilities, we hope to
continue to empower best-in-class patient care and accelerate the development
of new complex musculoskeletal solutions."
