Turner was honored to support a recent humanitarian medical mission to Honduras, where a team of surgeons, nurses, and volunteers delivered transformative orthopedic care to patients who would otherwise lack access to specialized treatment.
An organization with decades of global outreach, Operation Rainbow leads missions like this around the world, providing free orthopedic surgeries and training local medical teams to build long-term sustainability.
During the mission, the team used the SMART-C® ultra-portable mini C-arm to safely perform six surgical procedures that would not have been possible without intraoperative imaging. These included:
• Two ligament reconstructions for patients with recurrent kneecap dislocations
• A fracture repair around the knee
• Three corrective foot and ankle surgeries addressing significant deformities
The impact of this mission extended well beyond the operating room. One of the cases was featured on national news in Honduras, highlighting the remarkable patient outcome and the collaborative efforts of clinicians, volunteers, and supporting partners.
In resource-limited environments, access to portable fluoroscopy can be a true game-changer. We're proud to support orthopedic teams and humanitarian partners like Operation Rainbow in delivering high-quality care to communities in need.
