Exactech this week launched its Equinoxe Shoulder Planning App v2.1 in the U.S.

The preoperative planning software is designed for use with the company’s ExactechGPS navigation system in the operating room to connect the preoperative plan with implant placement. The Gainesville, Florida-based company designed the software to give surgeons increase flexibility to plan shoulder component placement and select implants and sizes for scapula and humerous made for a patient’s specific anatomy.

Equinoxe’s latest version has humeral planning with varying humeral stem components and sizes; views for stem anterior/posterior, medial/lateral and inclination positions; humeral head offset and position adjustment in anatomic procedures; patient neutral abduction position refinement and views of the total join and use of combined motions to assess shoulder range of motion and impingement.

In a recent study, the ExactechGPS navigation system provided v…

Gainesville, Florida-based Exactech designed the Newton knee with soft tissue balancing technology for total knee replacements with a modernized graphical user interface to accompany the new instrumentation.

According to a news release, Stanford University’s Dr. James Huddleston, Cornerstone Orthopedic Institute’s Dr. Raul Marquez and Rush Memorial Hospital’s Dr. Jeffrey R. Ginther were the first to perform surgeries with the platform.

“Optimal soft tissue balance, combined with personalized implant placement, has the potential to improve on the historical outcomes of knee replacement,” Huddleston said in the release. “Exactech is yet again leading the way with the Newton Knee, merging well-thought-out design and leading-edge technology to deliver real-time operative insights for balanced knee …

Exactech this week announced the first successful surgeries using its Equinoxe Laser Cage Glenoid in a shoulder implant procedure.

The first procedures were completed in Jacksonville, Florida at the Mayo Clinic and in Fort Collins, Colorado at the Orthopedic and Spine Center of the Rockies. Two of the product’s design surgeons – Drs. Bradley Schoch and Sean Grey – performed the procedures using the new glenoid implant.

Gainesville, Florida-based Exactech designed Equinoxe to improve glenoid fixation in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty. It has standard and augmented options and features a central bone cage and three peripheral cage pegs that are titanium, porous and 3D-printed.

“I am impressed by the mechanical strength of this unique hybrid design,” Grey said in a news release. “Mechanical bench testing has demonstrated the remarkable strength of the 3D printed porous cage pegs, which offer the potential for bone through-growt…

Gainesville, Florida-based Exactech designed the humeral reconstruction prosthesis with intraoperative flexibility and patient-specific sizing to offer a number of options for achieving stability regardless of proximal humeral resection length.

According to a news release, the platform is the first modular device available in the U.S. for significant proximal humeral bone loss and reconstruction after tumor resections. It is used in primary or revision arthroplasty procedures as well as anatomic oncology procedures.

The humeral reconstruction prosthesis, which Exactech first introduced in the U.S. in 2015, has been used to treat more than 1,500 patients and has been made available in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and Great Britain.
