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 screws3-5
