OrthoPediatrics announces completion of first procedures with VerteGlide system

OrthoPediatrics (KIDS) announced the completion of the first U.S. surgical procedures with the VerteGlide Spinal Growth Guidance System, used to treat Early Onset Scoliosis. Dr. Richard McCarthy, a pediatric orthopedic spine surgeon in Louisville, Kentucky who, along with Dr. Kent Walker, performed one of the first procedures shared, “The first procedures with VerteGlide were a great success. For these patients, there is a very limited set of options, and this breakthrough growth guidance system offers a solution for a significant unmet clinical need. This technology will greatly benefit the first patients and many other kids in the future. OrthoPediatrics should feel very proud of the work put into creating this device for the benefit of children”.
