The Juvenile Tumor System (JTS) is a patient-specific, extendible prosthesis that achieves lower limb length equality over time, in an outpatient setting following bone cancer surgery.
JUVENILE TUMOR SYSTEM
An extendible implant for children requiring bone tumor surgery that lengthens as they grow
Bone cancer can be traumatic for children. Lengthening the affected bone as they grow doesn’t have to be.
That’s where the JTS stands alone
The leading FDA 510(k) cleared device for noninvasive lengthening of a pediatric limb
Designed to grow with the child and ultimately stay with them into their adult life
Helps reduce the risk of complications associated with limb lengthening surgery in pediatric cancer patients
Over 1,700 JTS devices have been implanted worldwide since 2002
HOW THE JTS WORKS
Personalized Implant Design
Patient images are sent to the Onkos Digital Imaging Portal
An Onkos Patient Solutions Engineer contacts the requesting surgeon and begins work on the JTS implant
The JTS implant design is finalized through our collaborative process
Each implant is produced for surgery at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Parsippany, NJ
Surgery and Recovery
The JTS is implanted during the surgical procedure to reconstruct the leg
A recovery period follows for strength and mobility rehabilitation
Lengthening and Ongoing Growth
After the JTS is implanted, children may not need to face further surgery as they grow
In the months and years after surgery, the JTS is lengthened in the office
During these visits, the patient’s leg is placed comfortably inside a circular magnet
The magnet extends the implant 1mm every 4 minutes, totaling 4mm in length per visit
