FDA Clears CurvaFix Low Profile: A New Twist in Pelvic Fixation

Pelvic fractures are among the toughest problems trauma surgeons face — anatomically complex, technically unforgiving, and often complicated by massive blood loss and polytrauma. Traditional straight screws and plates sometimes feel like forcing rectangles into circles. Now, a freshly cleared device from CurvaFix, Inc. is promising to literally bend to the surgeon’s will.

The FDA has granted 510(k) clearance to the CurvaFix® Low Profile System, a threaded intramedullary fixation device designed specifically for curved bone pathways in the pelvis. The system advances a concept that has been gaining traction in trauma: instead of fighting anatomy, match it.
