HISTORY

Olle Löfgren brought forward the Olmed screw in the 1970s. The company Olmed was bought by Depuy. The original Olmed screw has since then been transferred to Zimmer/Biomet. In 2004 Thomas Löfgren, the son of Olle Löfgren, recreated an Olmed copy, the LE-screw which was CE-marked by ELOS Medtech. Both ELOS Medtech and Zimmer/Biomet plan to discontinue the LE-screw and Olmed screw. Anatomica has therefore agreed with Thomas Löfgren to CE-mark a copy of the LE-screw with Anatomica’s name on it. The LE-screw system is a good treatment for the femoral head fractures it was designed for.
