ORTHOFIX MEDICAL

What is now Orthofix Medical Inc. began in Verona, Italy, from the work of orthopedic researcher Giovanni De Bastiani, of the University of Verona.

He developed a modular system of external axial frame devices that could be fitted to a bone, allowing micromovement at the fracture site to stimulate bone healing.
