<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section> Paragon 28, Inc. has launched the Phantom\u00ae<\/sup> Fibula Nail System, offering a less invasive approach to fibular fracture treatment in ankle injuries. The system, designed to provide an alternative to traditional plate and screw fixation, purportedly addresses some of the complications associated with external fixation methods.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Research suggests that intramedullary fixation for distal fibular fractures may lead to fewer soft tissue complications, reduced implant removals, and lower rates of fracture nonunion compared to plate and screw fixation. The Phantom system aims to capitalise on these potential benefits through its innovative design features.<\/p>\n The system comprises instrumentation to facilitate anatomic reduction and proper implant placement. Key components include:<\/p>\n Syndesmotic fixation can be achieved through the nail using various Paragon 28 implant options, including the recently introduced R3FLEX and R3ACT Stabilisation Systems.<\/p>\n Dr Charles Moon, a surgeon involved in the system’s design, commented on its features: “The novel instruments designed to provide a reproducible starting point and the ability to pull traction for fracture alignment add measurable value to surgeons and lead to better outcomes for patients. The threaded distal screws and user-friendly proximal locking option help optimise stability, which is vital to fracture healing.”<\/p>\n The Phantom Fibula Nail System is delivered in a single surgical tray with sterile-packed implants, potentially simplifying surgical workflow and inventory management. It joins Paragon 28’s existing foot and ankle fracture portfolio, which includes various plating systems and external fixation options.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/main><\/div><\/div> Get in touch directly with the above supplier<\/p>\n<\/div>
