Allografts for Small Joint Surgery
October 20, 2004 - In an effort to better service small joint surgeons, ATSI is now providing cortical-cancellous bone grafts specifically designed for foot and ankle procedures. A number of recent scientific articles have promoted the use of allografts for a number of foot and ankle applications such as distraction arthrodesis,opening wedge osteotomies, and fracture management. Atsi offers two allografts for these applications:
Calcaneal Wedge: The calcaneal wedge is a cancellous bone wedge completely surrounded by a cortical wall that will add structural support for mid foot and rear foot procedures.
Tri-cortical Wedge: The tri-cortical wedge is recovered from the Ilium and contains cancellous bone surrounded by cortical walls on three sides.
ATSI also offers two other grafts for small joint and hand applications: Small joint tibialis and hamstring tendons. Using small diameter tibialis and hamstring allografts optimizes the surgeon’s cases by reducing OR time and eliminating the risks associated with donor site morbidity. Back to Media Center |
