Ankle Hindfoot Nailing System™

The Orthofix Ankle Hindfoot Nailing (AHN) System is intended to facilitate tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis (fusion). Specific indications include:

Avascular necrosis of the talus
Failed total ankle arthroplasty
Trauma (malunited tibial pilon fracture)
Severe deformity or instability as a result of talipes equinovarus, cerebral vascular accident, paralysis or other neuromuscular disease
Revision ankle arthrodesis
Neuroarthropathy
Rheumatoid arthritis
Osteoarthritis
Pseudoarthrosis
Post-traumatic arthrosis
Previously infected arthrosis
Charcot foot
Severe endstage degenerative arthritis
Severe defects after tumor resection
Pantalar arthrodesis

eight-Plate Guided Growth System & eight-Plate Guided Growth System+™

INTENDED PURPOSE
The Guided Growth Plate Systems are plates intended to provide bone fixation.

INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Guided Growth Plate Systems are indicated for gradually correcting deformities of long bones in growing children. Specific acquired or congenital patterns of bone deformity for which the device will be indicated include:
• Valgus, varus or flexion, extension deformities of the knee (femur and/or tibia);
• Valgus, varus, or plantar flexion deformities of the ankle.

Fitbone™

Fitbone is an intramedullary lengthening system for limb lengthening of the femur and tibia.

G-Beam™

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, non-unions 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).

LRS ADVanced Limb Reconstruction System

Indications:

Short Stature
Bone loss
Open fractures
Non-union
Angular deformities

Minirail™

Indications:

Metacarpal and metatarsal lengthening
Calcaneal lengthening
Pediatric forearm lengthening
Metacarpal, metatarsal and phalangeal lengthening
Joint arthrodesis

Soft tissue correction in patients with neurological disorders (e.g. cerebral palsy)
Arthrodesis of the 1st carpo-metacarpal joint following soft tissue correction
Complex upper extremity deformities
Hand contractures
Wrist contractures
Indicated for pediatrics through adult

TL-HEX TrueLok Hexapod System™

The TL-HEX system is intended for limb lengthening by metaphyseal or epiphyseal distractions, fixation of open and closed fractures, treatment of non-union or pseudoarthrosis of long bones and correction of bony or soft tissue defects or deformities.

TrueLok™

INDICATIONS:

Fractures
Non-unions/ malunions
Limb lengthening
Deformity corrections
For pediatrics, the same indications apply provided a growth plate is not compromised
