The implants in the Activ Ankle range are designed for the fixation of fractures, osteotomies and pseudarthrosis of the distal and diaphyseal fibula, the distal tibia and the fixation of the syndesmosis in adults.
Activ Ankle is the solution for treating trauma to the internal and external malleolus as well as for diaphyseal fractures of the fibula. Thanks to their design and ease of bending, the plates can respond to a wide spectrum of fractures while allowing, in certain cases, early mobilization of the operated ankle. The diversity of sizes and approaches thus offers numerous therapeutic options.
Complete treatment of malleolar fractures.
Activ Ankle offers 5 sizes of standard plates for the distal fibula, usable via a lateral approach. The design of these plates, equipped with a distal “racket” offering a plurality of holes for screws, enables the reduction and fixation of complex fractures. These implants can, if necessary, receive a syndesmotic screw.
Their distal screws are lockable, polyaxial and Ø2.8 mm, while their proximal screws are Ø3.5 mm, locking or non-locking.
Bending areas also facilitate the congruence of the plate to the bone, in particular on the diaphyseal part, which presents great anatomical variability from one patient to another.
Activ Ankle also offers 2 sizes of narrow lateral plates for distal fibula fractures, which can be used via a lateral approach. The design of these plates allows for the fixation of simpler fractures and can, if necessary, receive a syndesmotic screw.
Their distal screws are lockable, polyaxial and Ø2.8 mm, while their proximal screws are Ø3.5 mm, locking or non-locking.
Bending areas facilitate the congruence of the plate to the bone, in particular on the diaphyseal part, which presents great anatomical variability from one patient to another.
Activ Ankle also offers 3 sizes of plates for treating distal fibula fractures via a posterolateral approach. These implants allow the fixation of type B oblique fractures (according to the Weber classification), and can receive a syndesmotic screw, if necessary.
Their distal screws are lockable, polyaxial and Ø2.8 mm, while their proximal screws are Ø3.5 mm, locking or non-locking.
Activ Ankle offers a six-hole plate for fixation of simple diaphysis fibular fractures.
It accepts Ø3.5 mm locking and non-locking screws.
The range of Activ Ankle plates for the fixation of low fractures of the medial malleolus includes two standard plates and one epiphyseal hook plate, meeting the different surgical philosophies and anatomical constraints of the area to be treated. They accept Ø2.8 mm locking screws.
Preliminary reduction of the fracture, as well as fixation of the medial malleolus, can also be achieved using an osteosynthesis screw. Ø3.5 mm cortical screw, Ø4.0 mm cannulated screw, Ø4.0 mm lag screw and compression washer are available in the kit.
Plates and instruments for Activ Ankle Medial Malleolus are not available in the main Activ Ankle kit.
Preliminary reduction of the fracture, as well as fixation of the medial malleolus, can be achieved using an osteosynthesis screw.
Ø3.5 mm cortical screws, Ø4.0 mm cannulated screws or even Ø4.0 mm lag screws are included in the kit.
A compression washer will homogenize the bone contact surface between the screw and the bone.
The key features of the Activ Ankle range.
- A complete range of plates for three surgical approaches
- Angular freedom of 20° to ensure locked polyaxial fixation of distal screws
- Ø3.5 mm cortical screw or Ø4.0 mm lag screw, available for fixation of the syndesmosis
- Implants available in sterile or non-sterile versions or in a single-use kit (Initial A)
