Fibula Rod System
Product Overview
The Acumed Fibula Rod System offers an alternative approach to traditional fibular plating by providing fracture stability with a minimally invasive surgical technique. Utilizing a targeting guide, the fibula rod and interlocking screws can be inserted through small incisions, which may help minimize valuable surgery room time.
Solutions for Simple to Complex Trimalleolar Injuries
Trimalleolar fractures involve the lateral malleolus, the medial malleolus, and the posterior malleolus. See how Acumed Foot and Ankle products provide solutions to treat these often challenging cases. Watch video, see clinical and biomechanical evidence, and explore case studies.
Ankle Syndesmosis Repair System with Acu-Sinch Knotless
The Ankle Syndesmosis Repair System with Acu-Sinch Knotless is intended to provide fixation during the healing process following a syndesmotic trauma, such as fixation of syndesmosis disruption in connection with Weber B and C ankle fractures. It is compatible with implants from Acumed and OsteoMed fibula fracture fixation products.
The Acu-Sinch Knotless device consists of a lateral Round Button and medial Flip Button connected by self-locking suture loop. The Titanium Flip Button is designed to pass through a 3.5 mm bone tunnel, plates, or intramedullary nails with a nonlocking 3.5 mm hole, while the low-profile titanium Round Button is compatible with a variety of titanium fibula plates and nails with 3.5 mm nonlocking screw holes, including intramedullary fixation nails in the Acumed Fibula Rod System.
Key Features
Minimally Invasive
The nail is inserted in the distal fibula through a minimal incision. Screws are inserted by making stab incisions to protect the soft tissue envelope and preserve vascularity of the periosteum.
Anatomically Contoured
The nail has a 5° bend designed to fit the intramedullary canal of the fibula.
Streamlined Procedure
The surgical technique consists of 8 steps from start to finish, streamlining valuable surgery time.
Targeting Guide
The targeting guide aids in the anatomic placement of both A/P and M/L screws and allows for syndesmotic screw fixation.
