Company’s partnership with Mighty Oak Medical for 3D printed, patient-specific technology continues advancing pediatric scoliosis treatment
WARSAW, Ind., Feb. 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — OrthoPediatrics Corp. (“OrthoPediatrics” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: KIDS), a company focused exclusively on advancing the field of pediatric orthopedics, announced the 1,000th case performed with the FIREFLY® Pedicle Screw Navigation Guides (“FIREFLY”) technology in collaboration with Mighty Oak Medical.
FIREFLY, which is frequently used in conjunction with OrthoPediatrics’ RESPONSE™ Spine System, provides increased efficiency by utilizing data-driven, pre-surgical planning for optimizing size and trajectory of the pedicle screws when performing complex spinal surgeries. The 3D printed patient-specific guides reduce the need for intraoperative radiation and make accurate pedicle screw placement more efficient.

OrthoPediatrics is the exclusive distributor of the FIREFLY technology in children’s hospitals throughout the U.S.
David Bailey, President & CEO of OrthoPediatrics, added, “Our ongoing partnership with Mighty Oak Medical is something we are very proud of, and celebrating 1,000 successful cases is a great milestone!
