WARSAW, Ind., Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OrthoPediatrics Corp. (“OrthoPediatrics” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: KIDS), a company focused exclusively on advancing the field of pediatric orthopedics, today announced the recent implantation of the 1,000th Tibia Nail using its latest Pediatric Nailing Platform (PNP).
The PNP Tibia System was designed to bring a world-class, pediatric-focused nailing system to surgeons, enabling the use of rigid tibial nails in pediatric patients.
OrthoPediatrics’ introduction of the 7mm cannulated rigid tibial nail, the only product of its size, enables surgeons to treat patients who have previously been untreatable with adult systems. In fact, nearly 20% of all nails implanted by OrthoPediatrics have been the smallest 7mm size available. The implant is available in 7mm-12mm diameters.
Joe Hauser, President of Trauma & Deformity, stated, “The rapid adoption of this system demonstrates that OrthoPediatrics is filling a critical void in implant offerings to our core customer. The surgeon design team and our OrthoPediatrics engineers were meticulous in developing a system purpose-built for the needs of pediatric patients, and it is proving to be a valuable tool in treating over 1,000 kids with tibia fractures.”
The system includes small instruments to access the intramedullary canal, smaller overall nails, fixation options designed to avoid the physis, and instrumentation supporting both traditional and suprapatellar approaches.
PNP Tibia is currently available in five markets, with a European launch planned for 2027.
