Smith & Nephew生产出治疗足后段疾病的融合钉

一种新型足后段融合钉能够帮助外科医生根据不同患者的需要治疗下肢疾病。

这种Trigen足后段融合钉的治疗适应症包括足后段变性、畸形、或者创伤，包括骨折、血管坏死和风湿性关节炎，失败的全踝关节置换和失败的踝关节固定术。这种融合钉可以插入脚跟部以确保踝关节置于正确位置，从而帮助骨骼融合入固体结构之中。

踝关节融合手术是一种十分保守的手术方案，预后通常较差。手术需要在改善患者步态的同时减少患者的疼痛。Trigen足后段融合钉(HFN)是Smith & Nephew整型外科(Memphis, TN, USA)的产品，采用颜色标记十分便于移植时候的鉴别。
 
Fusion Nail for Hindfoot Problems
 
A new hindfoot fusion nail allows surgeons to customize treatment of a lower limb to accommodate the differing needs of patients.

The Trigen hindfoot fusion nail is indicated for degeneration, deformity, or trauma of the hindfoot, including severe pilon fractures, avascular necrosis, and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as failed total ankle replacement and failed ankle arthrodesis. The hindfoot fusion nail is inserted through the heel to keep the ankle in correct position and allow the bones to fuse into a solid structure.

Ankle fusion procedures are typically performed when more conservative options have not produced successful results. The surgical technique is designed to reduce the pain while improving gait for patients. The Trigen hindfoot fusion nail (HFN) is the product of Smith & Nephew Orthopedics (Memphis, TN, USA) and is color-coded for easy implant identification.
