Posterior-anterior placed locking screws give more stability than medial-lateral screws due to greater bone purchase. Stability is essential for union and to prevent malunion
The system and straight nail design allow rotation on insertion, easing introduction
The nail and unique locking screw design have superior fatigue resistance
The system has a mechanical targeting device that is accurate and easy to use
Indications
Painful arthritic deformity of the ankle joint with stiffness in the subtalar joint
Fractures of the tibial plafond and/or talus where reconstruction is impossible
Fracture/dislocations of the ankle joint combined with severe arthritic changes and loss of function
Supramalleolar non-union with subtalar stiffness
Failed fusion of the ankle joint
Contre-indications
Active infection
General medical conditions including: impaired blood supply, pulmonary insufficiency (i.e. ARDS, fat embolism) or latent infection
