MESA, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 3, 2025--

Fusion Orthopedics USA, LLC (“Fusion”) announced today that it has expanded its robust product portfolio with the addition of the Metalogix External Fixation Systems. A seamless transition of Metalogix’s operations, distribution, and hospital accounts to Fusion is already substantially complete.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250103097063/en/

The addition of Metalogix expands Fusion’s offering in external fixation solutions including Circular Static Frames, Dynamic Frames, Delta Frames, and a soon to be released novel Mini-Rail System. Metalogix is commonly known for its popular product known as the Revolution EPS as pictured below. The Revolution EPS is a new generation of external fixation systems designed for long bone fractures, limb lengthening and correction of bone.

The Revolution EPS and Revolution Trauma products are available now for all current Fusion and former Metalogix qualified distributors in their respective markets throughout the United States.

This groundbreaking technology features innovative designs engineered for strength and comfort. The Revolution EPS’ proprietary open back concept frame allows for improved limb access for surgeons and hospital staff, reduces swelling complications and allows for the use of smaller plates for more stability.

One of the many key components to the Revolution EPS, is the patented Revolution Cold Forged Wire Tips, specifically designed with a drill/flute configuration for easier insertion, which may reduce thermal necrosis. In testing, the Cold Forged Tip Technology maintained precision sharpness OVER 50 uses. Keeping with Fusion’s aim to provide patient specific solutions, the Revolution EPS also features 180-Degree Lockable Swivel Struts which give the surgeon the ability to attach one ring plate to another at any reasonable angle needed to fit a specific patient’s limb.

Another key element of the Revolution EPS is the Revolution Trauma System, containing the Revolution T Multi-Pin Clamp and the Revolution T Z-Post, which both utilize the patented pin-to-pin super struts and patented multi-pin clamp. The Revolution Trauma System allows for a wide variety of pin-to-pin super strut configurations for various surgical conditions, including but not limited to, distal tibial fractures, and ankle fractures. These patented pin-to-pin super struts can be attached directly to half-pins as well as assorted Steinmann Pins to simplify the frame’s assembly, as well as be acutely adjusted and subsequently fine-tuned for micro-compression and distraction. Additionally, the patented multi-pin clamp can accommodate up to 3 half pins, which can be inserted at a divergent angle or perpendicular to the bone, with the 30° angled horns being adjusted and locked into any desired angle a surgeon may need.

Fusion is excited about this highly anticipated announcement.

WREXHAM, Wales (AP) — Wrexham continued its squad reconstruction ahead of a season in the second-tier Championship by releasing one of its most renowned players — against his will.

Steven Fletcher, a former Premier League player who scored some crucial goals to help Wrexham earn a third straight promotion, took to social media to say he'd be leaving the ambitious Welsh club.

“It’s with a heavy heart, and not by choice, that I unfortunately have to announce my departure from what I can only describe as the most magical club I have ever played at!” Fletcher posted on Instagram.

The 38-year-old striker said he fell back in love with soccer by joining Wrexham, a club whose notoriety has rocketed since being bought by Hollywood celebrities Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney and becoming the subject of a fly-on-the-wall documentary — “Welcome to Wrexham.” “In my 22 years of stepping onto a pitch, I have never experienced anything like this club,” the former Scotland international wrote.

“To my team mates — you are family!” he added. "I have never experienced a dressing room like it in my career, and I can’t believe I don’t get to walk in there every day next season."

Fletcher finished a long message by thanking Reynolds and McElhenney for the opportunity to play for Wrexham.

Wrexham will need to improve the quality of its squad after rising to the second tier, a level the club hasn't played since the 1980s and just one more promotion away from the Premier League.

Another striker who might be leaving is Paul Mullin, a star player in previous promotion campaigns but who was overlooked by Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson for much of the second half of the season.
