DePuy Creates New Trauma & Extremities Group

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 01 Apr 2004
The creation of a new Trauma & Extremities Group was announced by DePuy Orthopedics (Warsaw, IN, USA) during the annual scientific sessions of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons in San Francisco (CA, USA).

"This organizational improvement is designed to help orthopedic surgeons and their patients to gain better access to technology used in treating accident victims and patients with severe joint problems,” explained Chris Lee, vice president, DePuy Orthopedicis Trauma & Extremities Group.

DePuy has combined its trauma and extremities operations because many surgeons who treat trauma patients also operate on non-emergency cases of the extremities. More...
The company's product offerings include reconstructive extremity products as well as trauma products previously marketed by the former DePuy ACE business unit.

The new group is committed to providing surgeons with better access to treatment options for fractures of the hip, foot, ankle, long bones of the leg, and upper extremities. DePuy Orthopedics also provides surgeons with a broad array of options for reconstructive surgery for the shoulder, elbow, ankle, wrist, and fingers. The company's hip and knee replacement products are managed separately.

"Many of the surgeons who treat traumatic injuries are the same ones who operate on non-emergency cases and deformities of the extremities,” noted Mr. Lee. "Combining these two operations improves the surgeon's options. By representing both of these intertwined product lines, our group can solve more problems, more quickly, for our surgeon customers.”
