Paragon 28 introduuced the Phantom Fibula Nail System, designed to give surgeons a less invasive option to treat the fibula when patients sustain an ankle fracture. Use of a fibula nail for the treatment of ankle fractures has been shown to have significantly fewer soft tissue complications, implant removals and fracture nonunion when compared to plate and screw fixation.
Phantom provides instrumentation to help facilitate anatomic reduction and proper implant placement. This includes an Entry K-Wire Guide to aid identification of the correct starting point for the nail and a Curved Reamer Guide to help direct the surgeon to the correct angle of the fibula at which to implant the nail.
The instrumentation also allows the surgeon to pull traction on the fibula to reduce the fracture intraoperatively. Screws that thread into the nail and an expandable proximal locking mechanism allow for optimal stability in the fibula. Additionally, syndesmotic fixation can be achieved through the nail with one of Paragon 28’s syndesmotic implant options, including the R3FLEX and R3ACT Stabilization Systems.
The Phantom Fibula Nail System is delivered in one surgical tray along with a small set of sterile packed implants.
