    Harnessing Mechanobiology with Controlled Micromotion: A New Direction in Fracture Fixation

    Drs. Roman Natoli and Michael Weaver discuss how implant biomechanics can influence the biological environment of fracture healing. They explore the principles behind controlled axial micromotion, early clinical experience with OrthoXel’s Apex Micromotion Nailing Systems, and the research shaping its potential role in tibial and femoral fracture fixation. Learn more about the clinical evidence supporting micromotion technology on the OrthoXel website. Thank you to the OTA, Dr. Natoli and Dr. Weaver for an engaging conversation about the evolving science of fracture fixation and healing.

    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.

    Clinical Study Insights: Early Experience with the Apex Tibial Nail | Dr. Joseph Johnson

    In our latest podcast episode, we chatted to Dr. Joseph Johnson, MD of UAB Medicine in Birmingham, Alabama to discuss his experience to date using OrthoXel’s Apex Tibial Nail as part of an ongoing clinical study. Dr. Johnson shared what first sparked his interest in micromotion technology, his early clinical experience with Apex, and how he believes controlled axial micromotion could play an important role in supporting fracture healing while maintaining stability. It was a valuable discussion covering tibial fixation, clinical research, and the future of fracture healing.
