Mx Orthopedics founder and president Matthew Fonte is named as the inventor on patent issued to Mx Orthopedics in May for a self-locking bone prosthetic structure that uses a shape memory material to make for a better fit for the part of replacement hips that are driven into the open channel into the center of the femur. The material, called Shape Memory Alloy, allows the body’s heat to cause an expansion of the inserted part of the prosthetic to completely fill the femur gap, and its irregular surface promotes bone growth into the material, according to the company’s video.
