Extremity Medical to Report on Clinical Results with its KinematX® Total Wrist Arthroplasty device at the ASSH Meeting

Parsippany, NJ, August 1st, 2024 – OrthoSpineNews – Extremity Medical will present real-world patient results from the KinematX Total Wrist Arthroplasty device registry at the Industry Forum at the ASSH annual meeting this fall in Minneapolis, September 18th – 20th.

The KinematX device is the only midcarpal implant designed to emulate natural wrist range of motion in patients with wrist arthritis and other degenerative wrist conditions. This wrist design is the first major improvement in wrist arthroplasty in the last twenty years.

The design of the KinematX implant was based on a research approach of identifying, tracking, and measuring the precise motions of eight bones in the human wrist. The Kappa Delta Award winning research was led by Dr. Wolfe at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York in conjunction with Joseph Crisco III, Ph. D, director of the Bioengineering Laboratory in the Department of Orthopedics at the Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University.

“The KinematX device is the only wrist replacement designed and engineered to mimic the motion of the human wrist so that patients can enjoy normal activities and improve their quality of life, “said Matthew Lyons, CEO of Extremity Medical.

Surgeons attending the ASSH meeting will have the opportunity to trial the wrist in a cadaver setting in a lab on the convention floor with personalized instruction from experienced KinematX users.

For surgeons who wish to register for the Friday, Sept 20 cadaver lab, please visit the ASSH KinematX Mini Lab Registration at the link below.
