Health Canada approval for BC Fine Osteotomy™

Bodycad is proud to announce that its new product, BC Fine Osteotomy™, the first personalized planning and plating system for osteotomies around the knee, is now approved by Health Canada.

BC Fine Osteotomy™ was developed based on published literature specific to the principles of orthopaedic correction, and incorporates acknowledged principles of success in orthopedic correction including high quality imaging, precise preoperative analysis, patient-specific planning, safe surgical techniques, the biology of osteotomy healing and properly positioned plates.

BC Fine Osteotomy™ is used jointly with our highly accurate Bodycad proprietary software, thereby offering a complete solution adapted to each unique patient. It includes a 3D printed patient-specific surgical guide (approved by the surgeon) as well as a custom plate with a small titanium wedge to confirm the 3D angular correction. The BC Fine Osteotomy™ system includes calibrated drill guides with Drill Stop Technology (DST) to protect posterior neurovascular structures, multi-planar 3D planning to increase accuracy, and is delivered as a procedure in a box to drive efficiency in the OR. BC Fine Osteotomy™ is more than a plate, it’s a custom solution adapted to each unique patient.

Our proprietary software is the heart of our process, enabling orthopaedic surgeons to achieve a personalized restoration based on the precise anatomical specifications of their patient.

This approval by Health Canada allows surgeons and patients alike to access the endless possibilities that Bodycad’s copyrighted software has to offer.
