SimpliFix Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance
Exton, Penn., April 19, 2023 – Today, Stabiliz Orthopaedics announced that its SimpliFix Hip System received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance.
SimpliFix is a revolutionary fixation device for use with intracapsular femoral neck (hip) fractures. The technology aims to reduce the incidence of complications that other devices and techniques have failed to address.
Utilizing surgeon-controlled compression, the system aims to resist femoral neck shortening. Maintaining the patient’s natural anatomy and preserving femoral neck length has been shown to improve postoperative pain and functional outcomes. Using a novel cross-screw technique, SimpliFix minimizes rotation of the femoral head. Maintaining rotational stability is a critical factor in preventing displacement and subsequent femoral neck shortening.
