AnaToemic® Hemi-Prosthesis
Hallux rigidus and limitus are debilitating conditions that usually affect older populations. However, they can affect younger patients in a number of situations. The AnaToemic® Phalangeal Hemi-Prosthesis is an ideal option in these cases where a joint sparing procedure is preferable to arthrodesis and an immediate gain in ROM is desired.
Compression FT Screws Technique
The titanium Compression FT (fully threaded) screws come in 2.5 mm Micro, 3.5 mm Mini, 4.0 mm Standard, 5.0 mm Large, and 7.0 mm XL. The variable-stepped thread pitch and headless design helps reduce the risk of profile complications, provides compression, and allows for simplified insertion. Surgeons can now achieve zero-profile, stable fixation. The Compression FT family of screws now offers 5 diameters and 91 screw lengths to fit various orthopedic applications throughout the body.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
The Arthrex MIS product portfolio continues to grow with the introduction of the Minimally Invasive Bunionectomy System. This trajectory system helps achieve correction and fixation placement using a percutaneous approach. Designed to work with this specific system, the beveled fully threaded screws are angled to provide zero-profile fixation. Additionally, a dedicated power unit and instrumentation are available. The MIS line is further supported by Medical Education courses focused on minimally invasive techniques.
Moberg Osteotomy
A Moberg osteotomy is a dorsal closing wedge osteotomy of the proximal phalanx of the great toe. It is used for hallux rigidus, grades 2 and 3, often in conjunction with a cheilectomy or other joint-sparing procedure. The osteotomy can be completed with an open or MIS approach, depending on surgeon preference. In either case, fixation can be achieved with Arthrex Compression FT or PT screws or with DynaNite® Nitinol staples.
MTP Joint Arthrodesis
The low-profile MTP plates and screws are a complete system for joint preparation and fixation for the treatment of severe hallux rigidus and other MTP pathologies. Whether used in primary or revision cases, this system enables surgeons to reduce, compress, and lock the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint in the ideal position for arthrodesis.
