FOREFOOT

Features:   Broachless Implantation Angled Metatarsal Stem Matches Natural Declination Angle No angled Cuts, Simple Disposable Instruments  

The bevelled proximal area of the screw enables it to be positioned flush with the medical cortex of the first metatarsal, this minimalizes any potential screw prominence or soft tissue irritation. The increased head length provides a greater thread contact upon angled insertion with the medial cortex which creates interfragmentary compression and increased stability. Key Features: Self-drilling Self-tapping

Indications and what is needed: MIS Akin – MIS equipment with 2.6mm or 3.0mm cannulated screws MIS Cheilectomy – MIS equipment only MIS Chevron & Akin – MIS equipment with 2.6/ 3.0 and/or 4.0mm cannulated screws MIS DMMO – MIS Equipment only MIS Calcaneal – MIS Equipment with 6.0mm or 8.0mm cannulated screws

The Extremity Medical IO-FIX IntraOsseous Fixation Device is intended for the reduction and internal fixation of arthrodesis, osteotomy, intra-articular and extra-articular fractures and nonunions of the small bones and joints of the foot & ankle. This two-part construct is specifically intended for use in the Ankle Fusion, Calcanealcuboid , , Lapidus, MTP, Metatarso-Cuneiform, TMTJ’s (2nd,3rd,4th), Subtalar, Talonavicular,  and Tibia-Talar joints. Features:    Zero Profile – no soft tissue irritation Implant compresses across joint – uniform compression Reinforced Bone Bridge Stable Fixation Avoids the need to bend plates or hardware Easy, Fast, & Reproducible Results Versatile Applications Removable Manufacturers Website :http://www.extremitymedical.com

Features: Made of PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) A non-resorbable polymer that has been shown to be highly biocompatible with a long track record in orthopaedics Stability by Design Opposing threads (screw and barbed segments) allow the ability to generate extra compression across the joint Cannulated Provides an option to temporarily pin the corrected phalanx across the MPJ with a guidewire Available in 3 sizes to accommodate size variations of the lesser toes

​Fixation: Single screw diameter:  Ø2.8 mm, both locking and non locking available with hexalobular stamp. The threads below the screw head and inside the hole have exactly the same characteristics. Coaptation of both profiles during locking improves removal properties. ​Implants: A low profile plate of 1,7mm thick , limits the amount of soft tissue irritation while providing optimized mechanical stability. A range of precontoured plates for optimized congruence between the plate and the bone. Available with two  plates, available in both left and right versions: Size 1 (length: 36,4mm), Size 2 (length 41.4mm).​​ The plate consists of a hole for the transfixation screw, holes for screws in the distal and proximal areas and a ramp oblong hole to enable simple yet controlled compression.

Features and Benefits Plate Strength – plates are contoured during the production rather than bent giving extra strength One type of hole for two screw diameters: 2.8mm and 3.5mm in both locking and non locking screws The screw head is minimally invasive and buried in the plate so as to limit the risk of soft tissue irritation. The hexalobe screw recess design improves torque transmission and ability to cope with difficulty arising from screw insertion into the bone.

These compact, self-drilling and self-tapping screws can be easily implanted in any kind of cortex, using the supplied ergonomic and easy-to-use instrumentation. Features:  Titanium Alloy cannulated screws Three diameters available – 2.25mm, 2.60 mm and 3.00mm Self-Drilling, Self-Tapping Screws – simple and time effective Low profile head design easily countersink (countersink provided only for hard bone) Allows for minimally invasive surgery using percutaneus instrumentation K-Wires 0.8mm and 1.0mm reduces the chance of K-wires deviating/snapping upon insertion Easy to use and colour coded instrumentation Available non-sterile (on tray) and pre-sterile

  JOINT PREPARATION (Metatarsal) A skin incision is made over the dorsum of the lesser metatarsal phalangeal joint. The distal portion of the metatarsal head is resected at the appropriate level for the existing deformity or disease. Using the supplied Reamer, prepare the medullary canal of the metatarsal. The three laser mark lines refer to the three proximal Implant stem lengths. Refer to Sizing Chart for proximal stem lengths. JOINT PREPARATION (Phalanx) The base of the proximal phalanx is preserved if possible. Using the supplied Reamer, the medullary canal of the proximal phalanx is prepared. Refer to Sizing Chart dimension for distal stem lengths. IMPLANT SIZING Place the Implant Trials into the prepared joint in order to select the correct size of Implant. With the Trial in place, load the foot to check that there is no jamming of the Implant. The Trial is then removed and the joint is thoroughly irrigated. The color of the chosen Trial corresponds to the color code on the associated Implant package. IMPLANT PLACEMENT The appropriate Implant is then inserted. Important – HANDS ONLY INSERTION: Do not use forceps or other instruments to grab, grasp and/or insert the Implant. This can damage the Silicone Implant. Excessive handling of the Implant should be avoided. After Implant placement, flush the joint with copious irrigation. CLOSURERepair and suture the joint capsule, being certain to completely cover the Implant. (Optional technique procedure: Tack down the extensor digitorum longus tendon proximal to the MTP joint, using one or two absorbable sutures, with the digit just slightly plantar flexed at the MTP joint. This will prevent retrograde buckling (dorsal contracture) of the joint while the foot is elevated post operatively, thus allowing the joint capsule to heal in its normal position. The sutures will dissolve after a few weeks, and the tendon and joint will resume function.) Wound closure is performed with sutures of the surgeon’s choice.
