Ankle Clamp
+ Description
The Ankle Clamp is a specialized component used in external fixation systems for stabilizing ankle and distal tibia fractures. It provides a secure and adjustable interface between fixator rods and bone screws or pins, ensuring rigid alignment and modular frame construction tailored to the anatomical contours of the ankle region.
+ Indications
- Distal Tibia and Ankle Fractures – Provides stable external fixation for fractures involving the lower tibia and ankle joint.
- Open Fractures and Soft Tissue Injuries – Ensures stabilization while allowing access for wound care and soft tissue management.
- Temporary External Fixation in Polytrauma – Serves as an initial stabilization tool in patients with multiple traumatic injuries.
- Alignment in Complex Ankle Reconstructions – Assists in maintaining anatomical alignment during staged reconstruction procedures.
- Post-Operative Stabilization After Debridement or Infection – Maintains structural integrity when internal fixation is not advisable.
- Adjustable Support During Ligament or Soft Tissue Procedures – Allows precise alignment and correction throughout surgical repair and recovery.
+ Key Features
- Anatomically Contoured Design – Shaped to accommodate the unique geometry of the ankle and hindfoot, promoting optimal pin placement and patient comfort.
- Multi-Axial Compatibility – Allows connection of pins and rods at various angles, enabling customized external frame configurations.
- Secure Locking Mechanism – Equipped with high-torque screws or knobs for strong fixation and easy intraoperative adjustments.
- High-Strength Materials – Manufactured from 316L stainless steel or medical-grade aluminum, offering strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability.
- Reusable & Autoclavable – Designed for multiple sterilization cycles, maintaining precision and mechanical integrity.
- Radiolucent Frame Compatibility – Slim design allows minimal interference during imaging for accurate intra- and post-operative evaluation.
- Modular Fixator Integration – Compatible with most universal rod-based external fixator systems, especially for lower extremity trauma.
