The Mini TightRope fixation system provides a unique means to suspend the thumb metacarpal and can be used after trapezial resection or removal for treatment of CMC arthritis or thumb CMC instability, and in case of revision with proximal migration after failed tendon reconstruction. 

 
The Mini TightRope implant supports and maintains the thumb and index metacarpals in proper relation while allowing for healing and scar tissue formation in the trapezial space. 

 
The construction consists of 2 strands of #2 FiberWire® that are fixed with 2 oblong stainless steel buttons for cortical fixation. 

 
The trapezial space may be left empty or filled with an allograft "anchovy" spacer.

Flexible fixation devices like the Knotless Mini TightRope implant afford surgeons an alternative to traditional rigid screw or screw-and-plate fixation for common foot and ankle pathologies, including hallux valgus, Lisfranc injuries, and hallux varus. The Mini TightRope system provides a strong and reproducible construct that stabilizes bones without overconstraining the joint,1 which can lead to early hardware failure and the need for a second hardware removal surgery.
&nbsp; 
This knotless, tensionable technology reduces the required number of surgical steps, lowering the risk of soft-tissue irritation from knot stacks and eliminating variability in implant tensioning.
