Since its inception, Orthofix has enjoyed a proud history of successes by providing surgeons and their patients with innovative solutions for trauma and spine fusion. Founded in Verona, Italy in 1980, Orthofix has significantly grown from acquisitions and expansion of its product offerings to a group of companies specializing in the design and manufacture of orthopedic medical devices, and focused on the training of Orthofix medical device users.
