Editors' Choice articles & Announcements from the Orthogate Team.
By christian I have pulled a couple of late nighters getting the patient education section restored and have migrated over the cases from OrthoNet to the new Orthogate server. I will not be relaunching OrthoNet because frankly there just is not enough interest or support from residents and faculty at the University of Toronto to justify its maintenance.
Here is a road map for additional features/projects that are in the plans:
By Chris Fair MedShape Solutions, Inc. announced today the first FDA cleared shape memory PEEK (polyaryletheretherketone) device for orthopedics using proprietary shape memory PEEK AlteraTM material. The MorphixTM Suture Anchor was recently granted FDA clearance and will be released to select U.S. markets in the coming months. Over $2.5B of PEEK-based implants are sold every year in the field of orthopedics. These devices range from spinal cages to suture anchors and across all sectors of orthopedics. As a material, PEEK provides excellent benefits such as strength, radiolucency and reliability.
By Michelle Hache The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, Inc. announces two new executive appointments. Mr. Kent Anderson was appointed CEO/Publisher on January 4, 2010 and Vernon T. Tolo, M.D. will take office as Editor-in-Chief on April 1, 2010.
Mr. Anderson and Dr. Tolo replace James D. Heckman, M.D. who is retiring after serving for ten years as Editor-in-Chief and CEO of The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, American Volume (JBJS).
