CytroFIX® Foot & Ankle Plate
High-Purity Titanium Constructs for Comprehensive Foot & Ankle Fracture and Fusion Procedures
The CytroFIX® Foot & Ankle Plate by Cytronics (an INVAMED orthopedic division) is designed to meet the diverse demands of foot and ankle surgeries, including fracture fixation, osteotomies, arthrodesis (fusion), and complex reconstructive procedures. Manufactured from high-purity titanium, this plate delivers robust stability, low-profile implantation, and flexible screw options—tailored to optimize patient outcomes and surgeon ease.
Anatomically Versatile Design
- Engineered for a range of foot & ankle applications (e.g., midfoot fusions, metatarsal fractures, ankle fractures, arthrodesis procedures).
- Low-profile geometry to minimize hardware prominence and reduce soft tissue irritation around tendons and ligaments.
High-Purity Titanium Construction
- Fabricated from medical-grade titanium (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V ELI) known for superior biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and strength-to-weight ratio.
- Lightweight configuration aids healing and mitigates the risk of stress shielding.
Locking & Non-Locking Screw Configurations
- Multiple hole arrays accommodate both cortical and locking screws, including variable-angle options for challenging fracture patterns.
- Surgeons can apply compression or bridging techniques, depending on fracture type or fusion site requirements.
Wide Clinical Indications
- Suitable for foot fractures (e.g., metatarsal, tarsal), ankle fractures (including malleolar regions), osteotomies, arthrodesis (joint fusion) procedures, and revision surgeries.
- Ideal for cases needing stable internal fixation with minimal hardware footprint.
Low-Profile Geometry
- Plate thickness (~2.0–2.5 mm) designed to minimize protrusion in anatomically tight foot & ankle regions.
- Reduced hardware palpability and soft tissue irritation, supporting earlier mobilization and improved comfort.
Contraindications
- Inadequate bone stock preventing stable fixation, active local or systemic infections, and patient comorbidities that contraindicate elective surgery.
- Surgeons should assess fracture complexity and patient health to confirm suitability.
