New Revolutionary Technique For Precise Correction Of Fracture & Bone deformities

For the very first time, a new technology to fix multiple bone deformities has been launched in India. Ortho-SUV Frame is a revolutionary computer assisted new generation external fixation device that provides accurate, computer assisted correction for Multi Planar Deformity & Fracture Reduction. Inventor of this revolutionary technique Dr. Leonid Solomin held a seminar in National Capital Delhi to educate Ortho Surgeons about the usage of this SUV frame to fix complex deformities.

New Delhi, 12th April ‘2013: The incidence of complicated deformities is relatively high in India, because of the unavailability of good primary orthopedic care, and socio-economic reasons. Many times, deformities which would be treated easily in the early stages, land up getting complicated due to neglect or lack of awareness.

 In addition, due to the high incidence of high speed trauma on Indian roads, complicated fractures, which may get infected and/or heal in less than optimal position, leads to a large number of infected nonunions (bones not healed) or malunion (bones healed in wrong position). Secondary procedures are often required for correction of bone defects and deformity.

Till today the Ilizarov fixator device is most commonly used for limb lengthening and deformity corrections.  It has certain limitation as for complex deformity correction and fracture treatment surgeon requires acute analysis of the oblique plane and combined angular and rotational deformities, which is a significant challenge for Surgeon.

The New Ortho-Suv Frame developed by Dr. Leonid Solomin of St. Petersburg, Russia, is a promising solution for overcoming these challenges. Suv Frame offers the surgeons an easier modality for treatment of complex deformities with acute analysis through computer assisted software. SUV Frame is a single step solution for treating complex Ortho conditions.

Dr. Mangal Parihar, Orthopedic Consultant, Mangal Anand Hospital, Mumbai, and Honorary Associate Professor at J J Hospital, Mumbai, is an expert in Reconstructive Orthopedic Surgery and dealing with a variety of postraumatic, congenital problems; mostly using the Ilizarov technique for reconstruction. He found “this new technology remarkable as it is designed keeping in conscious the challenges faced by surgeon with previous technique. With this technique the complexity of the deformity correction surgery is reduced, and most importantly, it has both a fast strut mode, which is valuable in the immediate reduction of fractures, and a gradual correction mode, which is useful in the fine tuning of fracture reductions and in the correction of deformities of any complexity.

“Patients will benefit by the accurate and quicker correction of complex deformities, thus bringing them back to active life quicker. This equipment is reusable, and made in India, which means it is cost effective with international quality at Indian prices”, adds Dr. Mangal Parihar.

This gradual mode is applied when deformity correction or fracture reduction takes place over an extended time period. Then the range of parameters taken from the frame and x-rays are inserted into the specially designed software for Ortho-SUV Frame. The software gives the user a mathematically precise prescription on what changes of length must be made to each strut to achieve the desired correction of deformity said, Dr. Leonid Solomin.

“Ortho Suv Frame has the best reduction and fixation capabilities in comparison with the previous tools. The time taken to correct a deformity varies from case to case. The Ortho-SUV takes the minimum amount of time under a given set of circumstances. Additionally, the patient would be able walk properly and function well, with the fixator on leg, even before the bone is fully unite,”Dr. Mangal Parihar

The successful trials of Ortho-SUV Frame have already been performed over more than 200 patients in Russia and now it is being launched in India to extend its benefit to more and more patients with fractures and complex bone deformities. 

About Ortho-SUV Frame 

The Ortho-SUV Frame, a revolutionary computer assisted six axis external fixator, is a one step accurate fracture reduction and deformity correction device for the needy patients without tedious analysis and postoperative frame alterations. Backed by proper training facilities being provided by the device manufacturing company, this latest technology for deformity correction can benefit thousands of severely handicapped needy patients with bone deformities in India.

Indian implant manufacturing has entered a new era, whereby a current product, is being manufactured for Indian and International markets, to International standards, under licence. The general trend thus far has been to make copy cat products. Additionally, an international quality training program, will help surgeons use the equipment optimally.

It is a matter of pride that S H Pitkar Orthotools Pvt. Ltd., one of the leading Indian orthopaedic implants manufacturing company has acquired exclusive worldwide rights for manufacturing & marketing of Ortho-suv Frame. In the past six months the product has been successfully launched in India, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Bahrain, UAE, Egypt & Columbia. In many other countries the product registeration process in in progress.
