Native Orthopaedics

Earlier this month, fellow Co-Workers from #NativeOrthopaedics took to #NEMIC HQ, building their VIP Native Root demo kits to be deployed across the country. In the book "Legacy - What the All Blacks can Teach us About The Business of Life" by James Kerr, James developed XV principles of Leadership (matching the fifteen players on a rugby team). Lesson 1: Sweep the Sheds - Never be too big to do the small things that need to be done Native Orthopaedics has adopted these principles, and this is one of the many reasons they have set themselves apart in the Medical Device industry. Here's "Sweep the Shed"s in-action, at their WWHQ NEMIC (New England Medical Innovation Center). #entreprenuership #medicaldevice #everyhandfitsabroom Sam Grossman, TOM GAMACHE, Patrick Schirk, Brian Morley, Christopher Ramsay, Dan Vasconcellos 

📣 LAUNCH UPDATE 📣 The Native Root System, powered by Dragonfly™, is now approved for use at NYU Langone Health. After his first case with the Native Root System, Robert Meislin, M.D. sat down for a quick post-op conversation with our Chief Marketing Officer, Brian Morley, to share his initial impressions. When it comes to setting the new gold standard meniscal root repair, you don’t have to take our word for it—hear directly from the surgeons pioneering this innovation in the OR. 🎥 Watch the highlight interview below. Are you a pioneer in sports medicine? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

LAUNCH UPDATE 📣 It’s been a little while since July, when we were honored with the AOSSM ACE Award in July. Since then, our team has been heads down preparing for the first wave of our Alpha launch of the Native Root System, powered by Dragonfly™. A lot of that work has focused on onboarding and upskilling our distributor partners—equipping them with the technology, insights, and support needed to take these first go-to-market steps with confidence. We’ve also been working closely with the surgeons who are pioneering this technology in their regions, ensuring they can bring the magic of the Dragonfly to life in the OR. And alongside that, we’ve been growing our commercial team, adding unique talent to accelerate our go-to-market in sports medicine. We’re excited about the momentum building, and even more excited about the people we get to build it with. OSET kicks off today in Las Vegas. If you are a pioneer in the field of sports medicine, we invite you to stop by booth 203 and connect with us—or reach out here: nativeortho.com/contact-us

🙌AOSSM 2025 — what a moment. This year’s Annual Meeting in Nashville was more than just another conference for Native Orthopaedics — it was a homecoming and a coming out party. Our co-founder, Christian N Anderson, MD, was back in his hometown, locked in as he introduced the Native Root System and Dragonfly™ technology to fellow surgeons and AOSSM leadership. And then — in a blink — everything changed. 🕚 11am: We presented to the AOSSM ACE Award judges. 🕑 2pm: We met with the AOSSM Board. 🕒 3pm: Our booth was swarmed. Native was named the 2025 ACE Award winner, recognizing the most innovative technology in orthopaedic sports medicine. It was a powerful validation of what we’ve built — and what Chris envisioned over a decade ago. This moment was 10 years in the making for him. A dream realized, and a belief we all shared now fully affirmed. We’re deeply honored to have been selected by Drs. Cassandra Lee, Elizabeth Dennis, Brian Lau, MD, MPH, and Brian Busconi — and to be welcomed by the AOSSM Board: Melanie Stanton, CAE, CFRE, Greg Dummer, Drs. Eric McCarty, Brian Busconi, and Rick Wright. To be recognized alongside industry giants and established peers like Arthrex, Stryker, Vericel® Corporation, Integrity Orthopaedics, and BRICEP? Truly humbling. It’s a great time to be building in sports medicine. Huge thanks to our incredible team — TOM GAMACHE, Brian Morley, Sam Grossman, and Christopher Ramsay — for pouring their heart and soul into this work. After 18 months of building as a team — and 10 years of vision from Chris — this one hit deep. Thank you, Nashville.
