Cardo Medical Announces Femur-First Versatility With Its Uni-Compartmental Knee System

Cardo Medical
(OTCBB: CDOM), a company engaged in the development of orthopedic
medical devices, announces the femur-first versatility in surgical
technique with its Uni-Compartmental Knee System. Uni-compartmental
knee arthroplasty procedures are most commonly performed using
tibial-first referencing surgical techniques; however the Cardo
Medical Uni-Compartmental Knee system also provides surgeons with
additional intra-operative versatility to easily adapt to femur-first
surgical techniques. Dr. Andrew Yun, an orthopedic surgeon at St.
John's Hospital in Santa Monica, CA, has performed numerous
femur-first uni-compartmental arthroplasty procedures and commented,
"I have been very satisfied with the ease of use and outcomes with
this system. The Cardo engineering team has been incredible to work
with, and I have enjoyed the responsiveness and quality of work which
comes from this group." In addition, Dr. Jonathan Braslow, an
orthopedic surgeon at JFK Memorial Hospital in Indio, CA, also
stated, "The Cardo Align 360 instrumentation system eliminates the
guesswork for the first cut, the system was easy and simple to use
and creates a reproducible outcome each time." The Align 360
Uni-Compartmental Knee System, Cardo Medical's initial product
release, has been used successfully since its introduction in January
2007. System enhancements for the femur-first approach include novel,
unique femoral tibial alignment ("knee jack") instruments with
dedicated alignment and resection guides.



Dr. Andrew Brooks, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cardo
Medical, stated, "The Cardo Medical Uni-Compartmental Knee system was
our first commercially available arthroplasty system, and also set
the standards of simplicity, versatility and reproducibility we
design into all our system offerings. The Align 360
Uni-Compartmental Knee system enables surgeons the flexibility to
choose between both a tibial-first or femoral-first referencing and
resection surgical technique and approach. With its innovative
alignment and conservative resection instrumentation, the system
easily adapts to any surgeons' training and methodology, including
use with mechanical or computer assisted surgical navigation. We are
pleased to offer intra-operative versatility within all of our
systems and continue to offer modularity and interchangeability,
especially within our Align 360 knee platform. Our innovations
especially with regards to instrumentation, surgical approaches and
techniques enable surgeons to achieve excellent surgical outcomes."
