Ankle Fracture

Stainless Steel Ankle Fracture System
Stainless Steel Ankle Fracture System
The Ankle Fracture Management System was developed to be the most comprehensive set available for the treatment of ankle fractures. All fibula plates are engineered to work seamlessly with our proven Syndesmosis TightRope® implants.
The set includes:
The system can also be customized to include the FibuLock® fibular nail (an MIS solution for ankle fractures), posterolateral fibula plates, and/or 2.7 mm cortical screws depending on the surgeon’s preferences.
Titanium Ankle Fracture System
Titanium Ankle Fracture System
Arthrex offers a wide variety of solutions in our ankle fracture portfolio, including titanium plating options. Plate offerings include:


Each plate is designed for use with the Syndesmosis TightRope® XP implant and includes a compression hole in the proximal shaft of the plate. The distal fibular plate also includes 3.0 mm variable-angle locking screws distally and suture eyelets for the addition of the AITFL InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation procedure.


The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during the healing period and is not intended as a replacement for the native ligament. The InternalBrace technique is for use during soft tissue-to-bone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.
FibuLock® Fibular Nail System
FibuLock® Fibular Nail System
The FibuLock fibular nail is a cutting-edge, biologically friendly treatment for ankle fractures. It is inserted into the fibula through a small incision and acts like an internal splint to stabilize the fracture during healing. This minimally invasive technique may reduce wound complications often associated with standard open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) plating techniques.1 The proximal talons allow for stable fixation to restore length, alignment, and rotation. The FibuLock nail is the only system on the market with this capability.

Mini Fragment System
Mini Fragment System
The Mini Fragment System (or “Mini Frag”) is designed to aid in the reduction and fixation of small and long bone trauma injuries. The tray modularity offers screw and plate options in 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm, and 2.7 mm sizes. With a wide array of plates to fit a multitude of trauma needs, the Mini Fragment System is a keystone addition to the Arthrex Trauma portfolio.


Features and Benefits


Indications
The Mini Fragment System is indicated for fracture fixation, reconstruction, replantation, stabilization, reduction, fusions, osteotomies, malunions, and nonunions of small bones and small bone fragments including normal and osteopenic bones in adult and adolescent (12-21 years) patients. The system is also indicated for non-load-bearing stabilization and reduction of bone fragments in long bones.
Syndesmosis TightRope<sup>®</sup> XP Implant System
Syndesmosis TightRope® XP Implant System
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, which is available in stainless steel and titanium.


Advantages of the Syndesmosis TightRope implant system:
• 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

KreuLock™ Locking Compression Screws
KreuLock™ Locking Compression Screws
KreuLock locking compression screws combine the same proven technology found in our Headless Compression FT screws with a locking screw head to provide compression along the screw for treatment of fractures or fusions. Additionally, they are designed to bring the plate to bone.
