L.R.S Ortho Ltd.

Introduction

Orthopedic surgery involves frequent drilling and cutting into bones. Long bone fixation with intramedullary (IM) nails, osteotomies (bone cutting) , osteoid osteomas (benign bone polyps) , bone biopsies, and removal of foreign objects lodged in bones are all  standard orthopedic procedures. Orthopedic surgeons perform most of the bone drilling and cutting procedures “free-hand” relying on experience and repeated X-ray images to locate the target point and angle for drilling/cutting. The challenge is to perform an accurate, relatively quick surgery; repeated attempts can damage the bone and result in lengthy, procedures. Orthopedic surgeons are looking for devices that will significantly improve procedures that involve drilling and cutting into bone. 

The LRS Ortho Solution

LRS Ortho has developed a smart, easy-to-use, computer-aided guiding device for accurate, effective aiming in bone drilling/cutting procedures. LRS’ Universal Guiding for Orthopedic (U-GO) system is a platform technology that enables surgeons to locate the drilling/cutting point quickly, then aim and drill accurately —using LRS’ smart and simple jig — while dramatically decreasing exposure time to radiation. The simple operation and accuracy will assist even less experienced surgeons in receiving excellent results — at a cost lower than that of existing navigation systems.
