Surgical skill meets industry perfection
The surgical field has a unique opportunity to utilize state of the art industry standards to improve orthopaedic surgical methods.
Ortoma, a development company in the orthopaedic surgical field, held an exclusive workshop at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg in connection with the 2nd World Congress on Surgical Training on June 19th. The workshop focused on cross science development of 3D CAD-system for preoperative planning and surgical navigation assisting surgeons in performing excellence in their implant positioning during operation.
Prof Matts Andersson with long experience from Nobel Biocare presented the Ortoma Treatment Solution concept and how this can improve the future of joint replacement surgery.

About Ortoma AB (publ)
Ortoma AB develops surgical systems for the planning and positioning of implants in hip, knee and spinal surgery. The purpose of the company’s surgical system, Ortoma Treatment Solution™ (OTS) is to enable surgeons to accurately measure and plan 3D surgery for the placement of joint implants, and during surgery, to optimally position the implant in the patient. Ortoma’s surgical system is aimed at providing better patient outcomes, fewer complications and less follow-up surgeries – and thus better long-term survival rates for implants. OTS is a system that is easily integrated into the processes and routines currently used in surgery, thereby increasing efficiency. Globally, more than 7.5 million orthopedic procedures are performed each year where OTS could be used in hip, knee and spinal surgery. In Sweden, around 42,000 surgical procedures were performed last year, involving hip, knee or spinal surgery. Ortoma’s B shares are listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market Stockholm.
