Hinge Joint New
The Hinge Joint New is a specialized articulated connector used in orthopedic external fixation systems to enable controlled angular movement between connected components, such as rods or rings. It is typically incorporated into dynamic frames for limb reconstruction, joint distraction, or deformity correction, where motion at a specific axis is needed. This redesigned or “new” hinge version often includes enhanced locking mechanisms, greater angular range, and improved biomechanical strength compared to earlier models. Material: Primary Material: Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel (AISI 316L) Optional: Titanium or High-Grade Aluminum Alloy Material Features: Corrosion-resistant Biocompatible Autoclavable (reusable) Wear-resistant pivoting components
- Joint Distraction & Controlled Motion Therapy – Often used in elbow, knee, or ankle fixation frames to allow motion during healing.
- Deformity Correction (Angular or Rotational) – Supports gradual or acute angular corrections by acting as a dynamic fulcrum in the fixator assembly.
- Limb Reconstruction & Lengthening Systems – Allows adjustable motion where anatomical joints or pseudo-joints are involved.
- Pediatric Orthopedics – Useful in guided growth or hemiepiphysiodesis where motion modulation is required.
- Trauma Frames Involving Articulated Segments – Enables precise hinge alignment in complex fractures involving joints or curved bones.
- Full Angular Adjustability – Allows precise control over the range and axis of movement.
- Lockable Mechanism – Enables rigid fixation once desired alignment is achieved.
- Strong Articulating Axis – Designed to withstand both static and dynamic loads.
- Modular Integration – Compatible with rods, rings, and posts in standard external fixator systems.
- Low-Profile Design – Minimizes bulk around the patient, allowing better mobility and comfort.
