Corin Group recently announced the U.S. launch of its Optimized Positioning System for hip replacement procedures.

According to a company press release, the Optimized Positioning System (OPS) allows surgeons to determine the best position of a hip implant based on an individual patient’s anatomy and movement. The OPS uses preoperative functional simulation and planning, and an intraoperative positioning system that employs 3-D printing and laser guidance.

The first functional, patient-specific hip replacement surgeries using the OPS in the United States were performed in November 2016. More than 3,000 similar surgeries have been performed in Europe and Australia, where the system has been approved for use.

“No two patients are the same,” Paul Berman, president of Corin USA, said in the press release. “We are offering a patient-specific solution that gives the surgeon the information and tools necessary to enable an optimal hip replacement procedure. Feedback from surgeons who have used OPS has been excellent and interest in the system from the orthopedic community is high.”
