Orthopaedic trauma care has advanced significantly in recent decades, with innovations in implants and surgical techniques making recovery faster and safer for patients. Among these innovations, locking plate systems have emerged as a game-changer in fracture fixation. They provide superior stability, especially in complex fractures and osteoporotic bones, where traditional plates may not perform effectively. [...]
Introduction Orthopaedic health is one of the most crucial aspects of human well-being. From fractures and joint issues to degenerative bone conditions, patients across the world rely on advanced orthopaedic implants to regain mobility and quality of life. In this rapidly evolving medical industry, India has emerged as a hub for high-quality, cost-effective implants. Among [...]
HEMC Ortho: Overview HEMC (Hospital Equipment Manufacturing Company), also known as HEMC Ortho, is one of India’s well-established manufacturers and exporters of orthopaedic implants, instruments, and related medical/hospital equipment. Founded in 1981, the company is headquartered in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Over the decades, it has grown its capabilities to produce high-quality medical implants, instruments, and [...]
External fixators are a highly effective and widely used solution for the treatment of bone fractures, especially in complex or severe cases where internal fixation may not be ideal or possible. This method of bone stabilization has become increasingly common in orthopedic care worldwide, including in India, due to its effectiveness, reduced risk of complications, [...]
A Femur Nail Instrument Set is a specialized collection of orthopedic surgical instruments designed to facilitate the insertion, fixation, and removal of intramedullary (IM) nails in the femur bone. These nails are commonly used to treat femoral fractures, including diaphyseal fractures, subtrochanteric fractures, and some proximal or distal femoral fractures. The set provides all the [...]
Variable Angle Locking Plate (VALP) systems have become a game-changer in modern orthopedic and trauma surgery. They offer enhanced flexibility, improved fixation, and better outcomes in the management of complex fractures. This guide explores everything you need to know about these innovative implants—from their structure and functionality to clinical applications and advantages. Variable Angle Locking [...]
A Tutor Set (External Fixation) is a specialized orthopedic device set used to externally stabilize bone fractures, especially in trauma and emergency situations. It provides temporary or long-term fixation for fractured bones without the need for internal implantation, making it ideal for open fractures, infected fractures, or where internal fixation is risky. Key Components of [...]
In orthopedics, a Small Fragment Instrument Set is a surgical tool kit specifically designed for procedures involving small bones or bone fragments—typically in the hand, wrist, forearm, ankle, or foot. These instruments are used to assist in the fixation of fractures using small fragment plates and screws, usually in the 3.5 mm system category. Key [...]
Cortical screws are a type of orthopedic screw designed to anchor implants to dense cortical bone, which forms the hard outer layer of bones. These screws are commonly used in trauma and orthopedic surgeries to fix fractures or attach plates to bones. Key Characteristics of Cortical Screws: Thread Design: Fine threads with a small pitch [...]
Cannulated Screws are specialized orthopedic implants used to treat fractures, perform osteotomies, and fix bones during surgeries. These screws have a central hollow core (cannulation) that allows them to be inserted over a guide wire or pin, enabling precise placement, especially in minimally invasive or image-guided procedures. Types of Cannulated Screws Here’s a detailed breakdown [...]
