Arthrodesis Nail
A second-generation fully interlocking arthrodesis nail that offers distinct advantages over previous intramedullary-devices, screw systems, and external fixation-devices for ankle fusions.
Features
- Titanium Alloy for strength and biocompatibility
- Distal Posterior to Anterior screw provides 40% greater torsional stiffness
- Compression device is built into the instrumentation, thus simplifying the operation
- All locking screws can be accessed without the need of the image intensifier
- Superior to the crossed lag screw arthrodesis technique - the ankle nail is stiffer in flexion, rotation and cantilever bending
- Reduced risk of infection compared to external fixation
- Available in a choice of diameters and lengths to meet surgical needs
