What is now Orthofix Medical Inc. began in Verona, Italy, from the work of orthopedic researcher Giovanni De Bastiani, of the University of Verona. Towards the end of the 1970s, De Bastiani proposed the concept of "dynamization," based on the natural ability of bone to repair itself. 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. Together with a group of surgeons and an industrial engineer, De Bastiani founded Orthofix in 1980 in order to continue the development of these devices and to bring them to market. Today, Orthofix is a diversified, global medical device company doing business in more than 70 countries around the world.
Orthofix product education and training is provided in strict compliance with the applicable local laws and regulations, and to the highest ethical standards of the medical technology industry.
