Syndesmosis Injury

Syndesmosis injury 0 large

The Syndesmosis TightRope^® XP implant system features a unique delivery mechanism that allows surgeons to insert the implant without pulling a needle through the medial skin. Tensioning handles and a new trocar-tipped drill bit have been added to the implant system.

Advantages of the Syndesmosis TightRope XP implant system include:

Improved reduction when compared to syndesmosis screws¹
Improved maintenance of reduction when compared to syndesmosis screws²
No need for routine implant removal
Supports early weightbearing and accelerated rehabilitation¹
Allows for physiologic motion of the syndesmosis following reduction and fixation
Improved patient outcomes compared to syndesmosis screws^3-5
