Description

Key Design Features of Retrograde Ankle Interlocking Nail for Tibio-Talo-Calcaneal Arthrodesis

Universal Design:
- Ambidextrous Use: The nail is designed to be used for both right and left feet, simplifying inventory and reducing surgical complexity.
Insertion Through the Plantar Aspect:
- Enhanced Stability: Inserting the nail through the plantar aspect of the foot provides a stable foundation for the fusion, ensuring that the components remain well-aligned during the healing process.
- Minimal Soft Tissue Disruption: This approach minimizes damage to surrounding soft tissues, promoting quicker recovery.
Interlocking Mechanism:
- Secure Fixation: The interlocking feature enhances stability by preventing rotational and axial movements, which is crucial during the healing of the fused joint.
- Multi-Axis Locking Options: Allows for customizable fixation points based on individual anatomy and surgical needs.
Optimized Geometry:
- Contoured Design: The nail is designed to fit the natural anatomy of the tibia and hindfoot, promoting proper alignment and load distribution.
- Varied Diameters: Available in different diameters to accommodate a wide range of patient sizes and bone conditions.
Material Composition:
- Biocompatible Materials: Made from materials like titanium or stainless steel, ensuring durability and compatibility with bone tissue.
- Corrosion Resistance: Ensures longevity and performance even in the challenging environment of the foot.
