What We Do
Orthofix Medical Inc. began in a small farmhouse in Verona Italy in 1980 when orthopedic researcher Giovanni De Bastiani recognized the bone’s natural repair capability, a concept he called “dynamization.” With that in mind, he created the first external fixation device. Today, Orthofix has grown to more than 1,200 employees with locations in the U.S., Italy, Germany, France, the U.K., Brazil, and Australia. Our products help patients in more than 70 countries around the world.
