Shotel Medical’s Ankle Arthrodesis Nail for the treatment of end-stage ankle arthritis was successfully used in its first procedure. Patients who have had the Shotel Nail System implanted are able to weight bear using a CAM (Controlled Ankle Motion) walker boot up to two weeks post-surgery, a significant advancement compared to the typical six to eight week non-weight-bearing period associated with traditional ankle arthrodesis techniques.
The Shotel Nail, a patented technology manufactured and distributed by BioPro, offers a curved nail design that allows a minimally invasive approach, requiring only small incisions. The system is engineered to fuse the tibiotalar joint while preserving full mobility in surrounding joints, resulting in faster healing, swifter recovery and earlier weight-bearing capabilities for patients.
