The CurvaFix IM Implant is 510(k) cleared for the fixation of pelvic fractures. The CurvaFix IM Implant provides 3-dimensional multi-planar fixation for stability in length, rotation, and bending. In a subset of pelvic fractures patients, CurvaFix provides a better alternative to traditional hardware such as straight screws which can have a screw failure/backout rate of 14-20%. Bone plates are more invasive, requiring a lengthy surgery and require and open surgical procedure. In very curved bone corridors such as a dysmorphic sacrum, CurvaFix can follow the natural bone within the pelvis providing a longer, wider, curved implant which creates a more stable construct for healing. CurvaFix can also steer around existing patient hardware (spinal implants, hip replacements) allowing the ability to place a longer, wider, curved implant which creates a stable construct for healing and reduces the likelihood of implant backout and breakage.
