When restoring alignment requires both stability and biologic support, graft choice plays a pivotal role.
In this femoral diaphyseal malunion reconstruction, Dr. Giampietro Bertasi and Dr. Giuseppe Saviori utilized a combination of ReadiGraft BLX Putty and corticocancellous bone chips to support healing in a 34-year-old male.

This Mother’s Day, we honor the strength of moms and the power of generosity. Dianne, a mother, grandmother, and retired OR nurse, faced breast cancer and a double mastectomy. Because of a donor’s selfless gift, she was able to heal and return to the life she loves.
“It’s very important to have these conversations,” Dianne shares. “I’ve seen how hard it is when families don’t know.”
Today, she carries forward both her own strength and the generosity of someone she’ll never meet. To read Dianne's story, visit link in bio.
Honor a mother. Share your wishes. Register as a donor. /

Some rotator cuff tears move beyond repair.
In irreparable cases, surgical strategy shifts from restoring tendon integrity to recreating a functional interface within the subacromial space. Techniques like bursal acromial reconstruction offer an approach to help manage pain and restore biomechanics.
ArthroFlex® provides a decellularized dermal scaffold that can be used to support soft tissue coverage and reinforce the subacromial interface in these complex procedures.

The Lions World Vision Institute team is honored to share photos from our recent event "In Celebration and Remembrance" held in Edmonds, Washington in partnership with @lifenethealth . 🙌
This special gathering brought together donor families, staff, and community members in a heartfelt tribute to those whose gifts continue to change and heal lives. Throughout the event, there were moments of reflection, remembrance, and connection that highlighted the lasting impact of donation and the powerful legacies left behind by our donors. ❤️❤️❤️
It was incredibly meaningful to hear stories from families, share in their memories, and come together in a space centered on compassion, gratitude, and hope. Events like these serve as an important reminder that every donation represents a life, a family, and a legacy that continues far beyond a single moment. 🤗
We are deeply thankful for the opportunity to partner together in honoring our donor heroes and their loved ones. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this event so memorable.

One reconstruction approach rarely fits every foot and ankle procedure.
The PRO-SPEC™ Foot and Ankle Bio-Implant System combines dense cancellous biologic implants with precision instrumentation designed to support multiple reconstructive techniques.¹,2
With 44 procedure-specific shapes and sizes, the system supports procedures including Cotton, Evans, Lapidus, calc-cuboid, subtalar, and 1st MTP reconstruction.¹
Developed through collaboration between LifeNet Health and Johnson & Johnson MedTech, PRO-SPEC integrates biologic implants and instrumentation into a comprehensive surgical solution.
Because precision in reconstruction begins with the right implant.

💚 National Donor Remembrance Day 💚
Today, in honor of Donor Remembrance Day, we invited donor families to the Graffiti Bridge, where more than 70 people came together to paint with a purpose and honor donor heroes. 🎨
Surrounded by love, remembrance, and community, each brushstroke became a tribute—sharing stories, memories, and the lasting impact of those who gave the gift of life. It was a powerful opportunity for families to come together, reflect, and celebrate the legacies that continue to live on through others.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this meaningful day of connection, healing, and honoring lives that will never be forgotten. 💙💚
