Results for tag: "Intramedullary Hip Screw"

The Intramedullary Hip Screw (IMHS) is a type of orthopedic device used to treat fractures of the femur. It is a metal rod that is inserted into the intramedullary canal of the femur, and is secured with a screw at the proximal end. The IMHS is used to stabilize the fracture and allow for healing. It is a minimally invasive procedure, and is often used in cases where open reduction and internal fixation is not possible. The IMHS market is a subset of the larger orthopedic device market, which is estimated to be worth billions of dollars. The IMHS market is expected to grow in the coming years due to the increasing prevalence of hip fractures, as well as the growing demand for minimally invasive procedures. Some of the major companies in the IMHS market include Stryker, Zimmer Biomet, Smith & Nephew, DePuy Synthes, and Orthofix. Show Less Read more
