PR Newswire (US)
SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kyphon Inc.
(NASDAQ:KYPH) announced today that a new exhibit, "Beyond Broken
Bones: The Story of Orthopedics and Prosthetics," will open on
Saturday, May 5, 2007 at the International Museum of Surgical
Science (IMSS) located at 1524 N. Lake Shore Drive, Chicago,
Illinois. The opening of the exhibit will be celebrated with a
reception from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Central Time on May 5, 2007.
This reception, sponsored by Kyphon, is free and open to the
public, although RSVP is encouraged (312-642-6502 ext. 3130 or ).
Following the opening, this long- term exhibit will be on view at
the Museum for at least three years. "Beyond Broken Bones" tells
the story of orthopedics and prosthetics -- from the mechanics and
materials of the body's musculoskeletal system, to prosthesis
design and surgical and non-surgical treatments for orthopedic
conditions, as they developed from Ancient Egypt to the present.
Showcased in "Beyond Broken Bones" will be a broad range of
artifacts, from archival documents and artworks representing
orthopedic and prosthetic pioneers, to historical objects including
ancient bone-cutting tools, Civil War amputation instruments, and
early 20th-century artificial limbs. Several contemporary devices
will be on display, and the exhibit will also feature case studies
on modern and historical orthopedic conditions, as well as past and
present therapies, including balloon kyphoplasty for treating
spinal fractures caused by osteoporosis and cancer. About the
