  • 25

WARSAW, Ind., Sept. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OrthoPediatrics Corp. (NASDAQ: KIDS), a company exclusively focused on advancing the field of pediatric orthopedics, announced today it will continue its Premier sponsorship for the 72nd Annual Meeting of the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine (“AACPDM”), which will take place October 9-13 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Additionally, the Company will sponsor the 2018 Scoliosis Research Society (“SRS”) 53rd Annual Meeting & Course, which will take place October 10-13 in Bologna, Italy.

AACPDM is comprised of over 1,100 health professionals dedicated to providing multidisciplinary scientific education and promoting excellence in research and services for the benefit of people with and at risk for cerebral palsy and other childhood-onset disabilities. Surgical intervention is one treatment modality for children with cerebral palsy and OrthoPediatrics is uniquely positioned to help surgeons treat patients through implant systems specifically designed for pediatric statures.

SRS is an international organization dedicated to the education, research and treatment of spinal deformity. The society is directly aligned with OrthoPediatrics’ cause to help children with pediatric orthopedic conditions. The Company’s industry-leading deformity correction portfolio offers pediatric orthopedic surgeons a variety of treatment options. The Company currently markets several unique surgical systems designed specifically for pediatric spinal deformity patients, including the RESPONSE™ Scoliosis System, BandLoc 5.5/6.0 System, a sublaminar banding technology, and the latest addition, FIREFLY, a unique 3D printed, patient specific navigational technology platform used to aid in safe and accurate pedicle screw placement, making spine surgery safer for kids.

David Bailey, Executive Vice President, stated, “We are proud to continue our partnerships with both AACPDM and SRS and share our innovative technology with healthcare providers working to make a difference in the lives of children suffering from treatable orthopedic conditions. We look forward to the societies’ continued success as delivering hands-on surgeon education and training remain one of the key elements to our mission.”

In addition, OrthoPediatrics is sponsoring the following traveling scholarships and awards for practicing surgeons to attend these educational events.
