Modern traumatology and orthopedics encompass a wide range of implants, fixation systems, and endoprostheses.
Among the most in-demand are:
Traumatology (osteosynthesis and fixation):
• osteosynthesis plates (angular stability, reconstructive, for small bones);
• intramedullary nails (locked, unlocked);
• screws (cortical, cancellous, polyaxial, compression);
• external fixation devices (wire-rod, rod);
• implants for diaphyseal and periarticular fractures;
• systems for revision trauma surgery;
• trauma surgery instruments (osteosynthesis sets, bone clamps, osteotomes, forceps, chisels, guidance systems).
Orthopedics (joint replacement):
• hip replacements;
• total knee replacements;
• partial (unicompartmental) knee replacements;
• shoulder prostheses (anatomical, reverse);
• revision prostheses;
• implants for complex reconstructions;
• components for primary arthroplasty (femoral, tibial, acetabular components, heads, polyethylene and ceramic liners).
A properly selected system (fixator or endoprosthesis) directly affects the long-term treatment outcome and the speed of limb function recovery.
These solutions are used in facilities that specialize in treating patients with injuries, joint diseases, and their complications.
They are most commonly used in:
• trauma departments;
• orthopedic centers;
• emergency care centers;
• general hospitals;
• private trauma and orthopedic clinics;
• sports medicine and sports trauma centers;
• rehabilitation facilities;
• specialized surgical centers;
• university hospitals.
A comprehensive approach to treatment allows for excellent functional outcomes even in complex clinical cases.

A comprehensive approach to treatment allows for excellent functional outcomes even in complex clinical cases.
The selection of a system (fixation device or endoprosthesis) must be based on the patient’s individual characteristics and the type of injury or disease.
Key selection criteria:
Criterion Why it is important
Type of pathology (fracture, degeneration, deformity) Determines the choice between osteosynthesis or endoprosthetics
Type of joint or bone Influences the design of the implant/fixator
Patient’s age Influences the choice of materials and type of fixation
Level of physical activity (prior to injury/disease) Determines the required strength and wear resistance
Bone quality Important for the stability of screws/rods or prosthesis fixation
Type of fixation (for endoprosthetics): Cemented or cementless system
The surgical team’s experience influences the outcome of the surgery
Current practice shows that an individualized approach to system selection significantly improves long-term treatment outcomes and reduces the risk of repeat procedures.
Innovative technologies make it possible to achieve a high level of functional recovery following joint injuries and diseases.
Key benefits:
• stable fixation of bone fragments or stability of the endoprosthesis;
• the ability to mobilize the patient early;
• high fatigue strength of the structures and wear resistance of the materials;
• biocompatibility (titanium, cobalt-chromium alloys, ceramics, high-molecular-weight polyethylene);
• reduction of pain and restoration of mobility;
• minimization of the risk of nonunion, pseudoarthrosis, or premature implant wear;
• faster return to an active lifestyle and improved quality of life for patients.
That is why traumatology and orthopedics are today considered among the most successful fields of modern regenerative medicine.
UMC offers state-of-the-art systems for trauma and orthopedics—ranging from plates, screws, intramedullary nails, and external fixation devices to total and partial hip, knee, and shoulder joint replacements, as well as specialized instruments for their implantation. The catalog features solutions for the initial treatment of fractures, primary joint replacement, as well as for complex cases (multiple trauma, revision trauma surgery, and revision joint replacement).
The company’s specialists help medical facilities implement modern technologies and select solutions tailored to clinical needs.
