Company overview

Maxx Orthopedics is a joint replacement manufacturer headquartered in Norristown, Pennsylvania, United States. Its official company history dates its founding to 2007 and reports a presence in more than 60 markets. Maxx carries Meril branding; Meril states that it acquired Maxx Ortho in 2009. The portfolio serves hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers.

The main implant lines are Freedom knee systems and Libertas hip systems, spanning primary replacement, selected cementless options, partial knees and revision reconstruction. FDA records document component-specific 510(k) clearances, including porous tibial baseplates, Titan PCK components and metaphyseal cones.

Commercial expansion includes the UNIK personalized-instrument partnership announced in 2024, the February 2026 acquisition of TracPatch recovery-monitoring technology, and the August 2026 U.S. launch of PCK Metaphyseal Cones. QRS packages outpatient planning, instrumentation and recovery workflows. A manufacturer technical brief reports ten-year Freedom knee cohort results; those observations should not be generalized to newer implant variants or treated as comparative proof.

Products & regulatory status How does MedTechIndex get this information?

Summary

The Freedom knee and Libertas hip families have multiple FDA 510(k) decisions, including component and material updates absent from the earlier snapshot. These are distinct regulatory decisions within product families, not separate product launches. Freedom Infinia and other unmapped configurations are retained separately rather than assumed to match an existing marketed model. [54][56][52][2][16][35][37][1]

No matching FDA recall event was identified in the completed company/applicant, linked-identifier and product-name searches. [32][30]
