‘Intelligent Orthopaedics’ is a ‘spin-out’ business from the Universities of Staffordshire, Keele and the University Hospital of North Staffordshire and designs, manufactures and markets products for the use in the healing of long bone fractures. 

Currently two products are marketed:

  • S.T.O.R.M – Staffordshire Orthopaedic Reduction Machine
  • IOS – Flexible Fixation

In the early 1990’s Professor Peter Thomas FRCS (Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon) and Professor Peter Ogrodnik commenced a research project on the healing of long bone fractures and as a result Intelligent Orthopaedics was formed to take the product innovations to market.

STORM is used to reduce fractures throughout the tibia including plateau and pilon prior to fixation.  STORM is used in conjunction with all forms of fixation both internal and external.

STORM and IOS were first marketed in 2005 and since has customers in the USA and Europe as well as the UK.
