Palm Beach Gardens, FL. -- On-site booth will host interactive experiences including product trials, hands-on demonstrations, and education
Today, Johnson & Johnson MedTech* announced that DePuy Synthes,** The Orthopaedics Company of Johnson & Johnson, has acquired CUPTIMIZE™ Hip-Spine Analysis, giving surgeons an easy-to-use tool to better understand and address the impact of abnormal motion between the spine and pelvis in some patients who require total hip arthroplasty (THA). CUPTIMIZE Hip-Spine Analysis (CUPTIMIZE Analysis) enhances the surgical planning capabilities of VELYS™ Hip Navigation, one of the solutions within DePuy Synthes’ VELYS Digital Surgery platform of connected technologies.
Abnormal pelvic tilt is present in approximately 20 percent of patients who require total hip arthroplasty.1 It is estimated that up to 50 percent of revision THAs are avoidable and of those, 48 percent are due to suboptimal cup positioning.2 A hip-spine analysis that enables the surgeon to quantify changes in pelvic tilt may provide for optimal cup positioning which may help reduce the risk of dislocation related to pelvic tilt.3
Unlike other technologies, CUPTIMIZE Hip-Spine Analysis does not rely on advanced imaging or engineering staff. Instead, a simple, digital screening tool analyzes x-rays of the patient when standing and sitting to identify abnormal motion between a patient's spine and pelvis (e.g., pelvic tilt). In conjunction with VELYS Hip Navigation's intra-operative capabilities, CUPTIMIZE allows surgeons to deliver more personalized care.
“The CUPTIMIZE Analysis is easy to use and allows me to make pre-operative decisions regarding a patient’s unique spinopelvic characteristics in a simple way before surgery,” said Dr. Jonathan Vigdorchik,*** orthopaedic surgeon, New York, NY. “It is an efficient tool to execute my plan during the operation.”
VELYS Hip Navigation provides an integrated solution for pre-operative planning and intra-operative execution that provides actionable, real-time data to personalize hip replacement and is designed to improve precision, increase surgical reproducibility, and optimize patient outcomes.
“At DePuy Synthes, we’re focused on addressing unmet needs with advanced technologies to deliver the most personalized care, like VELYS Hip Navigation with the CUPTIMIZE Analysis, with the goal of better outcomes for joint replacement surgery patients,” said Sharrolyn Josse,**** Worldwide President, VELYS Digital Surgery & Capital “This acquisition is one more advancement on our journey to becoming the most personalized and connected orthopaedics company.”
