Two of the world’s largest orthopedic device companies expect accelerated revenue growth this year.

Stryker and Zimmer Biomet both upped their 2023 guidance during recent earnings calls, a sign that orthopedic procedures are bouncing back from the COVID-19 pandemic.

GlobalData predicted earlier this year that the recovery will lift the ortho devices market to nearly $50 billion this year. The question is whether companies can continue the momentum. Stryker and ZB are betting on innovation, building arrays of products and services around their surgical robotics systems and surgical planning and digital health tools.

Enovis expands foot and ankle portfolio with new staples

DynaClip Quattro bone staples [Image courtesy of Enovis]Enovis (NYSE: ENOV) today announced the launch of its procedure-specific DynaClip Delta and DynaClip Quattro bone staples.

The staples are the latest additions to Wilmington, Delaware–based Enovis’ growing foot and ankle portfolio. The portfolio includes the DynaClip family of bone fixation systems.

DynaClip Delta and DynaClip Quattro staples come pre-loaded on disposable inserters. The inserters facilitate quick deployment and accurate leg positioning, according to Enovis.

Additionally, Enovis designed the DynaClip Delta staples to enable faster and easier first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) fusion procedures. The company says the staples accomplish this without compromising on durability and performance.

Enovis wins FDA nod for patient-specific Star Ankle instrumentation

The STAR patient-specific instrumentation (STAR PSI system). [Image from Enovis]Enovis (NYSE:ENOV) announced today that the FDA approved the STAR patient-specific instrumentation for use with the STAR total ankle replacement system.

Wilmington, Delaware–based Enovis designed the STAR PSI system to provide a personalized preoperative plan for each patient. Surgeons receive and review a 3D visualization of the patient’s ankle joint. This includes information about existing implants or bone defects.

The DJO parent company said in a news release that this allows the surgeons to plan for the total ankle replacement case. STAR PSI features an updated and simplified surgical technique. Enovis said this could potentially reduce operative time during total ankle replacement cases.

Stryker divested the STAR Ankle platform to Enovis in 2020 as it prepared to buy Wright Medical.

“Today is an exciting day for our customers and patients,” said Gary Justak, p…

Enovis introduces DynaNail Helix for hindfoot fusions

The DynaNail Helix’s threads allow for easy insertion like a screw. But it also has the dynamic compressive power and stability of a nail. [Image courtesy of Enovis]Enovis Corp. (NYSE: ENOV) has launched the DynaNail Helix —the latest addition to its DynaNail family and suite of foot and ankle products.

As with other DynaNail systems, DynaNail Helix uses proprietary, nitinol-based materials technology. The NiTiNOL tech provides sustained dynamic compression properties for subtalar fusion.

At the same time, Enovis sought to give it an anatomically friendly design and simple, screw-like insertion. As a result, the Helix’s threads also allow for easy insertion like a screw while also providing a nail’s dynamic compressive power and stability.

“It provides sustained compression across the fusion site, which traditional screws cannot do,” said Dr. Christopher Hirose, a foot and ankle orthopedic surgeon based in Boise, Idaho.
