    Clinical Study Insights: Early Experience with the Apex Tibial Nail | Dr. Joseph Johnson
    Jul 9 2026

    In our latest podcast episode, we chatted to Dr. Joseph Johnson, MD of UAB Medicine in Birmingham, Alabama to discuss his experience to date using OrthoXel’s Apex Tibial Nail as part of an ongoing clinical study.

    Dr. Johnson shared what first sparked his interest in micromotion technology, his early clinical experience with Apex, and how he believes controlled axial micromotion could play an important role in supporting fracture healing while maintaining stability.

    It was a valuable discussion covering tibial fixation, clinical research, and the future of fracture healing.
