ARTICLE SUMMARY:
Much of the innovation and investment in spine today is still targeting better plates, better screws, and better rods. But the founders of Ortho Kinematics argue that no one is focused on the problem of misdiagnosis, which has a higher impact on procedure failure rates than unsuccessful implants. With an accurate diagnostic tool for spinal instability, Ortho Kinematics believes it has the solution to failed procedures in fusion.
Replacing a standard of care is never easy, even when that standard of care is widely viewed as less than ideal.
