Syndesmosis Injury

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
