Femoral 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.

FibuLock® Fibular Nail

The Arthrex Tibial Nail System is designed to provide intramedullary fixation for various types of fractures, malunions, and nonunions of the tibia. A single instrumentation tray provides the tools for a parapatellar or suprapatellar approach. The distal screw configuration is the most distal, locked cluster of screws available on the market today. It maximizes the working length of the nail, allowing surgeons to treat extremely proximal or distal fracture patterns.
The Tibial Nail System features the following:
<ul>
 <li>Most distal, locked screw cluster on the market: Three distal screws at 5 mm, 13 mm, and 21 mm from the end of the nail</li>
 <li>Three proximal screw options, including a dynamic slot for compression or static positioning</li>
 <li>Threaded screw holes to maintain screw position in the 2 proximal static holes and the distal AP hole</li>
 <li>Up to 8 mm intraoperative or postoperative compression</li>
 <li>Flexible suprapatellar sheath to minimize pressure on the patella</li>
 <li>Diameters: 8 mm to 13 mm (in 1 mm increments)</li>
 <li>Lengths: 27 cm to 39 cm (in 1.5 cm increments)</li>
 <li>10° proximal Herzog bend and 3° distal bend to facilitate implantation</li>
</ul>

Tibial Nail System

The Arthrex trochanteric nail is a next-generation hip nail that addresses the remaining shortcomings of current systems and consists of three nail types—short nail, long nail, and the innovative ES nail.
Telescoping Lag Screw—Self-contained collapse within the lag screw prevents lateral lag screw irritation.
ES Nail Option—Combines the mechanical advantages of a long nail with the ease of a short nail. It extends through the isthmus of the bone, which can reduce distal tip stress risers, potential “pendulum” effects, and risks of peri-prosthetic fractures associated with short nails.1 The ES hole is easily targeted through the nail jig.
Biological Augmentation—Allows for the delivery of orthobiologics (BoneSync™ cement, autologous blood products, AlloSync Pure™, etc) through the lag screw instrumentation, prior to final screw seating.
Advanced Instrumentation—Designed to reduce surgical pain points and facilitate surgical work flow.
<ul>
 <li>Lag screw locking through the inserter (no set screw required)</li>
 <li>Captured distal 5.0 mm screws</li>
 <li>Calibrated drill bits</li>
 <li>Jig removal through the more lateral impactor attachment hole</li>
</ul>

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:
<ul>
 <li>3.5 mm locking one-third tubular plates</li>
 <li>3.5 mm locking straight plates (reconstruction plates)</li>
 <li>Fracture-specific plates: locking medial hook plates, locking lateral hook plates, and anatomic distal fibular plates</li>
</ul>
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.

Arthrex designed the Calcaneal Fracture Management System to give surgeons the tools required to address all calcaneal fractures using either the extensile lateral or sinus tarsi approach.
<ul>
 <li>Anatomically designed plates - 17 plate options</li>
 <li>Percutaneous guides – Provide targeting for the minimally invasive sinus tarsi incision</li>
 <li>Low profile - 1.35 mm thick titanium plates</li>
 <li>3.5 mm variable-angle locking - 15° in any direction</li>
 <li>Calcaneal-specific instrumentation - Plate cutter, Schanz pins, keyless T-handle chuck, and elevators</li>
</ul>

Calcaneal Fracture Management 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
<ul>
 <li>Reduction instruments and 6 plate-bending options to meet surgeon and patient needs</li>
 <li>Reinforced plating options across all 3 plate sizes provide added stability when a stronger construct is desired</li>
 <li>A wide variety of plates and screws (2.0 mm screws in lengths up to 40 mm and 2.4 mm and 2.7 mm screws up to 80 mm)</li>
 <li>The split tray design provides intraoperative efficiency by simultaneously making general instruments and the size-specific caddies immediately available, reducing the overall footprint of the entire system</li>
 <li>Each caddy features a compact instrumentation drawer with size-specific short instrumentation</li>
</ul>
 
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 year) patients. The system is also indicated for non-load bearing stabilization and reduction of bone fragments in long bones.

To address various types of fractures, the Patella SuturePlate™ II system offers three types of plates in different sizes. All plates are made of titanium and have a low-profile thickness of 1.6 mm with screws sitting flush on the plate. Suture holes in the plate can be optionally used for soft-tissue reattachment or ligament bracing.

Patella SuturePlate™ II

The Arthrex Pilon Fusion System is an expansion to the Arthrex Ankle Fusion Plating System that adds to the Arthrex portfolio for the following procedures:
<ul>
 <li>Distal tibia fractures that require fracture reduction and primary ankle arthrodesis</li>
 <li>Primary ankle fusions that necessitate additional screw options or plate lengths</li>
 <li>Revision ankle arthrodesis for failed primary fusions, hindfoot nails, or total ankle replacement</li>
</ul>
Severe damage to the tibiotalar (TT) joint often results in posttraumatic arthritis, pain, stiffness, and non-unions that require secondary surgeries. The Pilon Fusion System provides another option to address these severe scenarios with primary TT arthrodesis of the articular surface to potentially avoid additional surgery and chronic pain.
Anterolateral and posterior approaches, depending on the fracture pattern and/or soft-tissue condition, allow for fracture management, lengthy bridging techniques, anatomic implants, and fracture-specific locking configurations.

Pilon Fusion Plating System

Arthrex offers a wide variety of solutions in our ankle fracture portfolio, including titanium plating options. Plate offerings include locking third tubular plates, 3.5 mm reconstruction plates, and the locking distal fibular plate. 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.&nbsp;

Titanium Ankle Fracture System

The Arthrex Proximal Tibia Plating System builds on the Titanium Distal Tibia Plating System with the addition of lateral and posteromedial proximal tibia plating options, plateau-specific instruments, and longer screws.
