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

Image
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 de...

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...
