Recently, our OsteoMed CMF team attended the Annual American Association of Neurological Surgeons’ (AANS) Annual Meeting in Los Angeles, California. This is the largest gathering of neurosurgeons in the nation, with an emphasis on field’s latest research and technological advances. At the event, we presented our complete neurological solutions, including fixation systems, custom implants, pediatric solutions, power solutions, and biologic products. This was the first time that our newest addition to our portfolio, Montage distributed by Acumed, which is the only cohesive, settable and resorbable bone putty that adheres to bone surfaces and is putty-like upon opening, was presented at the neuro conference. Participants who visited our booth greatly enjoyed learning all about our innovative solutions! #Acumed #aans #medicaldevice #orthopedics #orthopaedics #neurosolutions #losangeles #california

You CAN touch this. But then it would need to be re-sterilized. That reference may be as old as our first generations of cannulated screws. Acumed's been leading the cannulated screw game since our company was founded. Providing solutions to your toughest challenges in the extremities, especially foot and ankle. The ExtremiFix Cannulated Screw System is another tool in your screw and pin armamentarium when it comes to treating forefoot arthroplasty. It's one of the only to provide 2.0 and 2.4 mm diameter screws in lengths up to 42 and 50 mm, respectively. Lengths designed to allow for simultaneous fusion of the DIP and PIP joints in a lesser digital arthrodesis. #wedofeettoo #screwandpin #Acumed #medicaldevice #nationalfoothealthawareness
At Acumed, when it comes to going green, our employees don't just talk the talk, they walk the walk. In an effort to reduce the use of paper cups, employees have been using mugs and tumblers. And it's working! Since January, the use of paper cups has been reduced from 8,000 to 5,000! At Acumed, we strive to make every day, Earth Day! Choose to reuse! #Acumed #gogreen #livegreen #earthday #recycle #reduce #reuse #choosetoreuse
The patient, in this case, is a 67-year-old house inspector who complained of medial arch and midfoot pain with difficulty performing normal daily activities. He failed conservative care and opted for surgical management. A posterior tibialis (PT) tendon repair, medial column fusion, calcaneal slide osteotomy, and posterior muscle group lengthening were performed. Fully threaded 4.0 mm cannulated screws were used in a lag fashion and supplemented with an anatomically designed medial column locking plate. This construct enabled earlier protected weight-bearing and rehab. The patient was seen at 18 months post-op, having healed uneventfully, and has returned to all activities without limitation. Thanks to surgeon Dr. Roland Ramdass DPM, FACFAS, and to Territory Manager Tehan Scully for assisting. #wedofeettoo #Acumed #casereview #nationalfoothealthawareness #AAFD
SXSW wasn’t the only big thing in town in Austin, Texas, in March. We recently hosted over 20 PGY5 and fellows at our ELiTE Advanced Hand and Wrist Course in this great city to discuss an array of topics such as distal radial malunions, ulnar shortening, and intramedullary hand fracture fixation and fusions. Heartfelt thanks to our Course Chair Dr. David S. Ruch, and faculty Dr. Charles Goldfarb, and Dr. William Pientka, for sharing their insights and expertise with the group. Everyone had a blast and found the course to be very educational and valuable! #Acumed #orthopedics #orthopaedics #medicaldevice #ELiTE #education #handandwrist #course #Austin #Texas #SXSW #malunions #fractures #fusions
This week, Acumed employees participated in our annual food drive at our Hillsboro, Oregon, campus. Our Charitable Giving Committee spearheaded the event and collected donated food from employees throughout March. By partnering with Impact NW, a social services nonprofit organization preventing homelessness in the Portland-Vancouver-area, we were able to help those in need. On the day of the event, volunteers from numerous departments, including Marketing, Engineering, Manufacturing, Packaging, and HR, helped distribute items and shared Acumed’s mission of providing innovative solutions to meet the needs of the whole health care community, including hospitals, surgeons, and patients. Thank you to all participants for sharing their time and compassion! #Acumed #orthopedics #orthopaedics #medicaldevice #Oregon #ImpactNW #giving #charity #nonprofit #compassion
