Bone Growth Therapies
Orthofix Bone Growth Therapy devices provide a safe, noninvasive treatment that helps promote healing in fractured bones and spinal fusions that have not healed or have difficulty healing. These devices deliver energy to the healing bone using pulsed electromagnetic or ultrasound waves, which can significantly help the healing process.
Some patients face challenges in healing after a fracture or spinal fusion surgery. Factors like age, smoking, or certain medical conditions can slow the body’s natural bone-healing process. That’s where Bone Growth Therapy comes in.
Doctors often prescribe this safe, noninvasive treatment—also called bone growth stimulation—to support the healing process and improve outcomes in at-risk patients.
Fracture Healing Solutions
Our fracture portfolio consists of the PhysioStim device and the AccelStim device. Both therapies offer a safe, non-invasive treatment designed to promote healing in fractured bones that have not healed or are experiencing difficulties in healing. These devices enhance the body’s natural healing processes by delivering low-level pulses of electromagnetic fields (PEMF) or low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) energy directly to the injury site
Spinal Fusion Therapy
Our spine portfolio consists of the SpinalStim device and the CervicalStim device, both of which provide low-level pulses of electromagnetic (PEMF) energy to the fusion site. Orthofix Bone Growth Therapy devices are designed to provide 360 degrees of PEMF treatment around the fusion site penetrating to the interbody space of the vertebrae. Due to the low magnetic permeability of PEMF, surgical hardware does not interfere with the applied treatment. Additionally, NASS coverage recommendations support the use of PEMF stimulation as an adjunct to spinal fusion surgery in high-risk patients.
