Fibula Rod System
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.
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
-
Streamlined Procedure
The surgical technique consists of 8 steps from start to finish, streamlining valuable surgery time
-
Anatomically Contoured
The nail has a 5° bend designed to fit the intramedullary canal of the fibula
-
Targeting Guide
The targeting guide aids in the anatomic placement of both A/P and M/L screws and allows for syndesmotic screw fixation
