IMPLANT FOR INTER PHALANGEAL FUSION

TOEGRIP® Kirschner wires are often used for the surgical treatment of proximal interphalangeal arthrodesis. This technique is associated with a possible lack of the important rotational stability that is required for proper bone fusion, as well as with the inconvenience during the 4 to 6 weeks healing period. Patients often feel embarrassed by the external remainder of the pin(s) and the need for pin removal. The Toegrip® implant was designed with a group of foot surgeons. The innovative design of the Toegrip® induces a cortical intra-medullar stability, reducing the non-union risk due to the...

TOEGRIP® SURGICAL TECHNIQUE Proximal Inter Phalangeal Arthodesis in Joint surface preparation The inter phalangeal joint is approached through a dorsal, longitudinal or transversal incision. The proximal and middle phalanx articular surfaces are resected. For the middle phalanx, the use of the calcar reamer (Art.Code: TG0010) is recommended to preserve as much as possible the subchondral bone. Proximal and middle phalanx intra medullar preparation The drill named “starter” (Art.Code: TG0113), 2,0mm diameter, is used to center the proximal and middle phalanx canal. The proximal phalanx is prepared...
