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.
