OrthoGrid launches software application for direct anterior THA

Following a recent FDA clearance, OrthoGrid Systems Inc. announced the launch of its OrthoGrid Hip software application, the company’s latest patented technology for direct anterior and total hip arthroplasty.

“We are thrilled to bring this latest version of our OrthoGrid Hip software to market," Richard Boddington, co-founder and co-CEO of OrthoGrid, said in a company press release. “The small footprint, non-invasive design and cost-effective price point make it an easy decision for hospitals and surgery centers as they look to recover from this backlog of elective procedures created by the COVID-19 pandemic.”

According to the release, the OrthoGrid Hip features new cup inclination for cup positioning, overlay features and new tools that enable surgeons to get “precise leg length and hip offset measurements” to execute surgical goals with efficiency.

“OrthoGrid Hip’s ability to correct fluoroscopic distortion is critical to trusting our intraoperative images and its new calibration and measurement options for cup positioning, leg length and hip offset will give us the real-time, intraoperative data we need to hit our alignment targets repeatably in the OR,” Jeremy Gililland, MD, associate professor of orthopedics at the University of Utah, said in the release.
