Results for tag: "High Tibial Osteotomy Plates"

High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) plates are specialized medical devices used in orthopedic surgery, particularly in procedures that aim to realign the knee joint for patients suffering from varus or valgus deformity of the knee, commonly caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis. These plates are an integral component of the orthopedic devices market. They function by stabilizing the bone after surgical resection of a wedge-shaped piece to alter the load distribution on the knee joint. HTO plates are designed to promote healing and maintain the correct alignment post-surgery, which aids in reducing pain and improving the patient's mobility and quality of life. The orthopedic market includes a diverse range of devices for treating musculoskeletal issues, and HTO plates specifically address the subset of surgeries focused on correcting knee alignment. These plates are developed by medical device manufacturers with a focus on materials that offer durability, biocompatibility, and the capability to support the proper fusion of the bone during the healing process. Companies active in the High Tibial Osteotomy Plates market include Stryker, Zimmer Biomet, Smith & Nephew, DePuy Synthes (part of Johnson & Johnson), Arthrex, and B. Braun Melsungen. These companies offer a portfolio of orthopedic solutions that encompass a variety of implants and surgical instruments, including HTO plates designed to meet the specific demands of knee corrective surgeries.
