For girls who love to wear high hates, it is very easy to get bruises. The formation of labyrinth toes is caused by an imbalance between the toes and flexor muscles. This unbalanced muscle force acts on the interphalangeal joints deformed under compression and causes the joints to deform. The joints in abnormal positions are formed by long-term compression. Traumatic arthritis, severe joint space narrowing, irreversible deformity. Under normal circumstances, the second toe occurs more than other toes, and the incidence of females is more than that of men. It may be related to the wearing habits and the incidence of hallux valgus.
According to 3Dprint, Additive Orthopaedics, a bone-setting orthopedic device manufacturer in New Jersey, USA, announced that the company has successfully treated palatal toes with a 3D-printed implant.
The traditional treatment methods, in addition to allowing patients to wear loose new shoes, so that the toes can be fully extended, the main physical therapy is mainly through joint exercise or through the bracket to force the toes to restore their original state. Today, Additive Orthopaedics says that patients need only one surgery to restore their toes.
Founder Greg Kowalczyk stated that the implants they successfully developed can only be realized by additive manufacturing processes, and that 3D printing, with its flexible features, can better adapt to different symptoms.
A major investor in Additive Orthopaedics is Asimov Ventures, and now the company is preparing to start the second round of financing. At present, the test article is under FDA review, and is expected to be widely promoted to major clinics in the United States after approval. At the same time, Additive Orthopaedics continues to develop other implants to cure foot diseases such as clawed toes.
