Orthopaedic device developer announces availability of new hip system

Benny Hagag, president of MicroPort Orthopedics, said: “By allowing surgeons to cater a femoral hip system to their preferred techniques, we have created a customisable hip system that is Simply Versatile in its ability to exceed the needs of each surgeon, designed to help our surgeons more effectively treat patients. This customisation to tissue-sparing techniques allows for streamlined preoperative planning, excellent patient outcomes, and a quicker recovery. The proof is in our patients.”
