OrthoPediatrics launches, first case using GIRO Growth Modulation System

OrthoPediatrics announced the limited launch and the completion of the first clinical case using the new GIRO Growth Modulation System. The GIRO tether device is indicated for pediatric patients to aid in the correction of angular deformities of long bones and limb length discrepancy. Two configurations of the system are available, the GIRO Screw configuration for deformities in the femur and tibia, humerus, radius and ulna or ankle and the GIRO Post configuration for limb length discrepancy of the femur and tibia. Joe Hauser, President of Trauma and Deformity Correction at OrthoPediatrics, added, “The first clinical case with the GIRO Growth Modulation system represents a milestone for our business as we continue to leverage the technology and expertise of our colleagues at OrthoPediatrics Canada. This system provides our pediatric orthopedic surgeon partners with a new option to treat their patients, we are excited to see this technology improve the care of kids.”
