Everything You Need to Know about DynaClip Forte Compression Staple Bone Fixation System

Prior to the launch of Nitinol-based DynaClip® Bone Fixation System in 2019, plate and screws devices had predominantly been used in foot surgeries for bone fixation. Although Nitinol staples have proven effective for many foot and ankle bone fixation procedures, their application was limited due to their inability to withstand the mechanical demands of certain environments. The introduction of DynaClip as a bone fixation system offered a robust solution to maintain compression and the implant’s structural integrity long after surgery. Its design ensures the distribution of stress away from the corners of the implant thus preventing implant failure.

MedShape Inc.’s launch of DynaClip Forte® compression staple builds on the 2-leg DynaClip bone staple. DynaClip Forte is a 4-leg foot staple with a low profile which allows the implant to rest on the bone. Patients don’t have to deal with irritation or complications arising from prominent or bulky hardware.

DynaClip Forte’s four-leg design offers improved rotational stability and dynamic compression compared to DynaClip. However, DynaClip Forte still maintains various elements of the original DynaClip design. These include features such as thick legs and a broad bridge. Both of these features serve to prevent the concentration of stress at the corners of the compression staple.

With the improvements in design, the new bone fixation system meets the mechanical and anatomical requirements of high load-bearing applications. This has resulted in the application of the nitinol staples to procedures that would have been more challenging for DynaClip and other 2-leg staples. The new compression staple has been used in various applications across the hindfoot, midfoot and forefoot, including tarsometatarsal fusion.

Like the DynaClip foot staple, DynaClip Forte also offers surgeons fast and easy application as the nitinol staples come pre-loaded on a disposable Inserter with the option of two different sizes and is accompanied by a single disposable procedure pack.

What are the Stages of Charcot foot?

  “And miles to go before I sleep and miles to go before I sleep”! To walk a million miles in your life, you need your feet to support you in every step that you take, but Charcot foot or Charcot arthropathy can be a cause of concern. We, at MedShape Inc , provide effective surgical solutions to help address foot deformities and pain caused by Charcot arthropathy so that your feet support you in the way you want them to support you. What is Charcot foot? Charcot arthropathy or Charcot foot is a disease that affects soft tissues, joints and bones in the feet. From near-numbness to numbness in one or both feet, Charcot foot weakens the bones making them prone to fractures and dislocation. If Charcot foot remains untreated, it can further lead to rocker-bottom foot(when the shape of the foot changes in which the arch extends out and down),disability and amputation. What are the stages of Charcot foot? The 3 stages of Charcot foot are: ·       ...

Intramedullary Nail Fixation - All You Need to Know

Image
Intramedullary nailing is a type of surgery that repairs broken or diseased bones to keep them stable and help facilitate fusion. In this surgery, a permanent nail, i.e., an intramedullary nail or a rod is placed in the centre of the bone, so it would enable you to put weight on the bone. Typically this bone fixation procedure is carried out mostly in the Femur, Tibia, hip, and Humerus. Evolution of Hindfoot Fusion Intramedullary Nail Fixation During the 1 st generation of hindfoot fusion nailing surgery, there was no application of compression; instead, the nails were locked into the bone with screws. The 2 nd generation nail fixation applied external manual compression through the frame. 3 rd generation introduced internal compression by using an internal screw to press against the calcaneal screw. However with all these earlier generation nails, the bones are able to retain compression after the instruments are removed but would lose compression upon any bone resorption or s...
