Product Overview
ANATOMICAL SITE: Hand, Foot
PROCEDURE: Fractures, Lengthening
Product Description
External fixation with the Pennig Minifixator combines the advantage of secure fragment fixation with a minimally invasive procedure. Soft tissue dissection is not necessary since, in general, indirect reduction is employed.
With this system, the traditional three "R's" of fracture treatment: Reduction, Retention and Rehabilitation are accomplished with a highly favorable risk/benefit ratio for both patient and surgeon.
Physician Benefits
• Secure fragment fixation with minimally invasive procedure
• Soft tissue dissection not necessary
• Allows placement of threaded wires parallel to joint surface and thus requires only minimal application space
• Reduced inventory since threaded wires do not need predrilling and are trimmed to length (http://orthofix.com/)
