Celebrating Our Legacy: The Evolution of Bone Growth Therapy at Orthofix
At Orthofix, our journey toward becoming an innovator in medical technologies for musculoskeletal pathologies is deeply rooted in our commitment to advancing Bone Growth Therapy. In August 1995, we took a bold leap by bringing pioneering bone growth stimulation technology into our portfolio, transforming the standard of care for patients with challenging fractures and spinal fusion cases.
A Turning Point in Bone Growth Therapy
Before our expansion in the 1990s, bone healing often relied on surgical intervention, lengthy rehabilitation, and a measure of uncertainty. We recognized a critical need: physicians and patients needed reliable, non-invasive solutions to accelerate bone healing and enhance recovery.
Our early Bone Growth Therapy devices used electromagnetic signals to safely and painlessly stimulate natural bone regeneration. These technologies played an important role for orthopedic surgeons aiming to avoid repeat surgeries and for patients seeking non-surgical alternatives to heal fractures that weren’t responding to conventional treatment.
Where We Stand Today
Orthofix has continually evolved its bone healing portfolio to meet the needs of modern
medicine and the lives of real people. Today, our Bone Growth Therapy offerings blend the
legacy of those original breakthrough stimulators with the latest evidence-based science. Our devices, including the AccelStim™, CervicalStim™, SpinalStim™, and PhysioStim™ systems, embody decades of research, thousands of healing success stories, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
