In March 2022, we launched Archer™ 3D Targeting Software in partnership with Catalyst OrthoScience


Archer™ 3D Targeting Software is an innovative preoperative shoulder planning software, whose mission is to help the surgeons to fully understand their patient pathology and to deliver a personalized surgical plan prior to the surgery. After a little over a year, over 500 patients have benefited from this individualized treatment in full synergy between both engineering teams and Catalyst surgeons.


As we are constantly dedicated to patient care, we have worked hard to improve the surgeon's experience with a new look and feel of the preoperative planning. We are excited to announce that our latest software release in May 2023 has brought another round of updates to our userbase that have been well received, and we are working hard on the next generation of tools with our top Catalyst surgeon users and engineers.


“I’ve been utilizing Archer™ 3D Targeting Software this past year for most of my pre-operative planned cases, and the software is a great blend of speed and simplicity for getting the data I need to feel comfortable heading into each of my cases. The humeral planning software is a game changer. It really improves my understanding of the true humeral head in deformity cases and provides me more confidence in the OR to precisely recreate the patient's native anatomy. The Catalyst and 3D-Side engineering teams have been receptive and responsive to me and my colleagues feedback and the product is ever improving because of this. This is important to me as a surgeon, so I can have access to the best tools at my disposal for patient treatment.” – Dr. Patrick Noud

"Thank you so much for all of your hard work getting my guide designed. The case went fantastic and the guide sat perfectly and corrected just as planned. I saw him at 2 weeks post-op and he is doing great. I will definitely use your system again!" 🙏


A great feedback from Dr. Sigrist, regarding the first distal femoral case realized with OrthoPediatrics!


A successful partnership which allows us to help young patients. This adolescent needed a complex correction including a deflexion, a derotation, a frontal correction, and a shortening of the distal femur.

🔄The combination of our cutting guide and the OrthoPediatrics plate allowed for the perfect reconstruction for this patient.


Stay tuned for the next case coming from this great collaboration! 📣



For the second time, we combined forces with Dr Eric Loveless to treat a young American patient. Another successful collaboration to realign this patient's proximal femur and place an OrthoPediatrics® plate.


To achieve that, we created a custom made cutting guide which was used to resect the perfect wedge and obtain the planned Imhauser osteotomy. The surgery was brilliantly performed by Dr Loveless, who described the guide's fit as "perfect".

Always a pleasure to work with great surgeons to help patients improve their quality of life !


Thank you Dr Loveless for trusting our guides and team's work !
