Radiographic Targeting Attachment (RTA)

• Description: A device under development designed to assist surgeons in performing distal locking procedures in orthopaedic surgeries. It aims to put both targeting and drilling capabilities directly into the surgeon's hands.

• Key Features:

• Eliminates the step of aligning the C-arm fluoroscopy to avoid the dependence on radiology technicians.

• Reduces operative time and minimizes radiation exposure.

• Is compatible with any nail system and drill, useful for hip and mid-shaft femur and tibia fractures.

• Does not alter established surgical procedures, making it easy to learn and adopt.

• Has been successfully tested for feasibility in cadaver studies.

Recent Developments

• Research Support: The RTA is supported by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases of the National Institutes of Health under award number R43AR074332.

• Feasibility Demonstration: Successful cadaver study demonstrating the potential of the RTA device with five orthopaedic surgeons showing promising results.

• Next Steps:

• Focus on conducting a larger scale study to refine the RTA technology.

• Preparation for regulatory approval through the validation of design, safety, and efficacy.

• The RTA is still under development, not approved for human use, and not yet available for sale.
