| Popis: |
Titanium circumferential grommets have been developed for finger joint arthroplasty that fit on the base of the silicone implant stems to protect the flexible hinge from tearing and fracture. To facilitate grommet insertion, new intramedullary bone rasps have been devised with a reverse cutting tooth pattern, an extended shaft for an improved view of the surgical field, and a redesigned cutting head to allow for grommet insertion. Surgical accessibility and ease of recognition have been facilitated by the development of color-coded sizers. All of the instruments necessary for finger joint surgery are available in a molded tray that has also been redesigned with a transparent lid and clearly labeled compartments for accurate determination of instruments and implant sizers. |
