Timko, Chairman and CEO of OrthAlign. “As we continue to expand our platform of indications, we look forward to evolving KneeAlign and building a suite of applications that make OrthAlign’s technologies the go-to solution for their ease of use, economics, and clinical results.”

“I am excited to join OrthAlign’s outstanding clinical and management teams as they continue to expand and more broadly apply their proven sensor technology,” said Dr. Steven Haas. “OrthAlign has innovative products, and I look forward to working with them as they expand their platform.”

Dr. Haas speaks nationally and internationally on hip and knee topics, and has contributed more than 90 publications into orthopedic literature.
