Solving the NC Fusion Compression Conundrum – PATENTED Precision® Guide Gorilla® NC Fusion Plating System!Paragon 28 developed and patented its Precision® Guide technology to allow surgeons a streamlined and reproducible method of balancing their plating construct with an interfragmentary screw. The PATENTED Precision® Guide when used in conjunction with the Gorilla® NC Fusion Plate provides for accurate placement of a compression screw across the NC joint while avoiding plate hardware. This guide positions the interfragmentary screw in a predictable location closing down the tension side of the joint (screw is positioned as far from plate as possible and centered through the joint).Three trajectories are provided with each guide to accommodate variations in patient anatomy and the size of the bone allowing for more medial or lateral capture of the navicular. The guide limits the opportunity for the crossing wire to skive and achieves a true center position through the joint no matter the starting point.

Surgeon Designer Dr. Charles Moon comments, “The Phantom Fibula Nail System offers surgeons an excellent surgical option for treating a fractured fibula with several next-generation features that truly set the system apart. The novel instruments designed to provide a reproducible starting point and the ability to pull traction for fracture alignment add measurable value to surgeons and lead to better outcomes for patients. The threaded distal screws and user-friendly proximal locking option help optimize stability, which is vital to fracture healing.”

Thank you J.P. Halloran, MD for sharing your AVITRAC™ MTP Revision System case done at Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute. Dr. Halloran utilized a Ø11 mm AVITRAC™ MTP Revision Graft to address a failed Synthetic Cartilage Implant (SCI).Failed SCI?The AVITRAC™ MTP Revision System was created to provide an option when revising a failed SCI. The system contains grafts with the accompanying reamers in three different size options (Ø9 mm, Ø11 mm, Ø13 mm) to address the void left in the head of the metatarsal upon removal of an SCI implant.Explore Paragon 28’s MTP Revision Option! https://lnkd.in/ePDHFaGS

Paragon 28, Inc. (NYSE: FNA) is pleased to announce the launch of the Phantom® Fibula Nail System, designed to give surgeons a less invasive option to treat the fibula when patients sustain an ankle fracture. Use of a fibula nail for the treatment of ankle fractures has been shown to have significantly fewer soft tissue complications, implant removals, and fracture nonunion when compared to plate and screw fixation, a common alternative approach. 1

The Phantom® Fibula Nail System provides surgeons with instrumentation to help facilitate anatomic reduction and proper implant placement. This includes an Entry K-Wire Guide to aid identification of the correct starting point for the nail and a Curved Reamer Guide to help direct the surgeon to the correct angle of the fibula at which to implant the nail. The system instrumentation also allows the surgeon to pull traction on the fibula to reduce the fracture intraoperatively. Innovative implant features such as screws that thread into the nail and an expandable proximal locking mechanism allow for optimal stability in the fibula. Additionally, syndesmotic fixation can be achieved through the nail with one of the many novel Paragon 28 syndesmotic implant options, including the Company’s recently launched R3FLEX™ and R3ACT™ Stabilization Systems.

MEASURABLE and ADJUSTABLE TENSIONING
• Tension indicator allows surgeon to visualize and optimize the tension of the construct to each patient.
• Inserter allows the surgeon to precisely increase or decrease tension across the implant with micro and macro adjustments.

The R3FLEX™ Stabilization System is the next generation of flexible syndesmosis fixation.

The instrumentation provides surgeons the ability to assess and adjust the tension of the repair intra-operatively.

The preparation is performed tri-cortically with a Ø2.8 mm drill bit to alleviate the risk of injury to the saphenous nerve or vein on medial distal tibia.

The knotless implant is designed to enable motion across the syndesmosis to better match the native kinematics of the fibula.
