The G-Beam Fusion Beaming System™ has been designed to address the specific demands of advanced deformity and trauma reconstructions of foot and ankle applications. The system was developed for the treatment of neuropathic deformities, such as Charcot, requiring fusion of the medial and/or lateral columns, with or without corrective osteotomies as well as for joint fusions within the mid- and hindfoot.
The G-Beam Fusion Beaming System consists of two different diameter implant ranges, designed for optimal implant selection for wide ranging patient anatomies, and an instrumentation including the dedicated G-Beam sterilization tray. The G-Beam Fusion Beaming System is designed with an instrumentation and technique that have been developed to simplify the surgery.
The G-Beam Fusion Beaming System is intended to be inserted in the bones of the foot and ankle for alignment, stabilization and fixation of various fractures and osteotomies, fusions and reconstructions. It is indicated for fracture and osteotomy fixation, reconstruction procedures, nonunions and fusions of bones of the foot and ankle including metatarsals, cuneiforms, cuboid, navicular, calcaneus and talus. Specific example: medial and lateral column fusions resulting from neuropathic osteoarthropathy (Charcot osteoarthropathy).
Proper patient selection and the patient’s ability to comply with physician instructions and follow the prescribed treatment regimen will greatly affect the results. It is important to screen patients and select optimal therapy given physical and/or mental activity requirements and/or limitations. If a surgical candidate exhibits any contraindication or is predisposed to any contraindication, DO NOT USE the G-Beam Fusion Beaming System.
