Anterior Hip Foundation Innovation Symposium
Thank You Vegas for AHF2023

Our Founder Sponsors

Shark Tank Winner

Douglas Fairbanks beat the sharks at the #AHF2023 Ortho Sharktank.
He impressed with Advanced Scanners and the platform's potential to enable robotic, AR/VR and Surgical Navigation Systems.
The current Advanced Scanners device replaces the trace of hundreds of arduously collected points with a scan that gathers ~1,000,000 points in a fraction of a second. Additionally, the device can be used to check calibration at any point in the case AND re-register the anatomy when needed.

Advanced Scanners

Congratulations

Dr. John Masonis MD was awarded the prestigious Judet award by Dr. Joel Matta in recognition of his support for anterior approach arthroplasty. His involvement since the early stages of its evolution has seen him persevere through its early hurdles, challenges and naysayers. A leader in the advancement of anterior hip replacement John Masonis continues to dedicate himself to education and improving the technique.

The Ortho SharkTank 2023

Congratulations! Winner!

Advanced Scanners

Current enabling technology options in the market suffer from a dependency on a slow, potentially inaccurate trace registration method to register anatomy. The current Advanced Scanners device replaces the trace of hundreds of arduously collected points with a scan that gathers ~1,000,000 points in a fraction of a second. Additionally, the device can be used to check calibration at any point in the case AND re-register the anatomy when needed.

Caira Surgical

Jon Greenwald will present Caira Surgical’s proprietary technology, which seeks to revolutionize the usability, safety, economics and accessibility of advanced surgical navigation and robotics for orthopedic surgery.

Embody Orthopaedic

Justin will present Embody Orthopaedic’s H1 Ceramic Hip Resurfacing

This spinout from the MSK Lab at Imperial College, London has designed an anatomic ceramic cementless resurfacing system, instrumented for DAA. It features a bone conserving resurfacing design, and a contoured cup and head to match normal anatomy.

5.5 yr results and gait analysis in a 250 pt trial 5 centers, with 8 surgeons confirms that H1 is as effective as a Birmingham Hip Resurfacing but without the metal ions. It is also just as effective for women as for men.

Kinomatic

Kinomatic utilizes 3D surgical planning software combined with a virtual reality interface to provide an unparalleled view of patient anatomy. This allows surgeons to plan out and preview a surgery in advance. The focus on personalization means that surgeons can pinpoint the precise implant size, position, and orientation ahead of time, in order to achieve the best possible outcome for each patient.

Dr. Louay Toma Currently practices at Golden State Ortho in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has built a practice that focuses primarily on Anterior Hip Replacements for the past decade. Dr. Toma started adopting Kinomatic VR surgical planning into his practice back in 2021.

Metallimax

How do you choose your acetabular reamers?

* Dull acetabular reamers generate tremendous heat, often temperatures high enough to cause tissue necrosis.

* Eccentric reamers and excess reaming depth are well-established problems associated with the use of dull community reamers.

* Acetabular loosening remains the leading cause of failure for total hip replacement.

Derek Edgar will present Metallimax Reamers- engineered to virtually eliminate the inconsistency and mystery of reamer sharpness and precision.

MiCare Path

Scott Laster will introduce MiCare Path – a reimbursable, integrated mobile health platform that delivers:

Improved outcomes with data-driven decisions
Personalized patient education and care paths
Clinical efficiencies for a better patient experience

Orthosurance

OrthoSurance was developed from the interaction with countless patients asking, “How long will my joint replacement last.” Patients expect joint replacements to last a lifetime and OrthoSurance provides the promise that our patients deserve. OrthoSurance is the first of its kind limited lifetime warranty for hip and knee replacement surgery and the only warranty with the patient at the core. The coverage travels with the patient wherever they go and to any surgeon they choose if a revision is needed.

OstAudio

Ken Stewart and Anya Chambers

The orthopedic OR is not a quiet place. But while many of us just hear noise, Ostaudio acoustic engineers hear potential insights. Ostaudio unlocks those insights by applying complex AI.

The first application of this solution is trained to analyze the acoustic signature of a powered impactor inserting a broach into the femoral canal during THA and to indicate (on a 0-5 scale) the tightness of the broach as it progresses.

Signature Orthopedics

Dr. Stephen Cummings will share his female broaching system for a true anterior hip stem. This features a broach that can stay in the femur and tamponade bleeding during a femur first direct anterior THA.
