This truly represents the first ever pediatric nailing platform the market has ever seen, and will be the foundation of our intramedullary technology going forward. It is the result of a very thoughtful and intentional development process, understanding the needs of the pediatric surgeons who treat femoral fractures and deformities. It’s another example of what OrthoPediatrics does; focusing ALL of our resources on helping children with orthopedic problems.”
