The FDA granted 510(k) clearance to CurvaFix’s intramedullary rodscrew, used to treat patients with fractured pelvic bones.

The rodscrew adapts to the patient’s bone curvature and aims to reduce surgical costs, shorten surgery times and give better fixation.

The flexible device is implanted into the center of the bone through a small incision in the skin and is then made rigid to stabilize and repair the pelvic bone fracture.
