  • Publication number: 20180021145
    Abstract: A prosthetic component for use in a metatarso-phalangeal joint fusion procedure for a patient that includes a single monolithic body is disclosed. The body includes a distal body section that is sized to be positioned in a surgically-prepared bore defined in a proximal phalange of the patient's foot, and a proximal body section that is configured to be threaded into a surgically-prepared bore defined in a distal end of a metatarsal bone of the patient's foot. When the single monolithic body is viewed in a first plane, the distal body section may be laterally offset from the proximal body section when the single monolithic body is viewed in the first plane. A method of use and a method of removal are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20120259419
    Abstract: An implantable device includes a prosthetic, an anchor having an outer surface forming a threaded structure, and a retainer securing the anchor to the prosthetic, the retainer limiting the relative movement between the anchor and the prosthetic to rotation of the anchor relative to the prosthetic. A method of repairing the first metatarsophalangealjoint includes cutting away a portion of the tissue of the proximal phalanx to form a cavity, driving an anchor of the implantable device into the cavity to anchor the implantable device to the proximal phalanx, and while the anchor is being driven into the cavity, aligning a prosthetic of the implantable device to the phalanx such that the alignment of the prosthetic is maintained.
