Severe damage to the tibiotalar (TT) joint often results in post-traumatic arthritis, pain, stiffness, and non-unions that require secondary surgeries. The Arthrex Pilon Fusion System provides another option to address these severe scenarios with primary TT arthrodesis of the articular surface to potentially avoid additional surgery and chronic pain.
The Arthrex Pilon Fusion System is an expansion of our Ankle Fusion Plating System and adds to the Arthrex portfolio for the following procedures:
- Distal tibia fractures that require fracture reduction and primary ankle arthrodesis
- Primary ankle fusions that necessitate additional screw options or plate lengths
- Revision ankle arthrodesis for failed primary fusions, hindfoot nails, or total ankle replacement
Anterolateral and posterior approaches, depending on the fracture pattern and/or soft-tissue condition, allow for fracture management, lengthy bridging techniques, anatomic implants, and fracture-specific locking configurations.
