    Healing in Motion: Innovations in Orthopaedic Trauma with Apex Nailing Systems

    In this episode of the OTA Podcast, we bring together leading voices in orthopaedic trauma and bone healing to discuss the challenges and innovations shaping the treatment of tibial fractures. Host Hannah Dailey, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer at OrthoXel, is joined by Sean Campbell, MD and Augustine Saiz, MD, orthopaedic trauma surgeons at UC Davis. Together, they explore the biological and mechanical principles behind successful tibial union, discuss strategies for managing complex fractures, and share clinical insights from their experience treating these challenging injuries. The conversation covers current evidence, real-world case considerations, and emerging technologies that may improve patient outcomes, making this episode valuable for orthopaedic surgeons, residents, fellows, and anyone interested in advancing fracture care.
