Orthofix is now marketing their latest foot and ankle product, the Centro Nail. This Intramedullary Nail is ideal for Pantalar / Tibiotalocalcaneal Arthrodesis in Charcot breakdown and severe degeneration of the rearfoot.
Currently the Orthofix website has not been updated with content for the Centro Nail and once it is live we will have images and a link available; currently you can check out the specs on the Centro Nail product page on FootandAnkleFixation.com. After seeing this implant up-close, the IM Nail offers surgeons two noticeable advantages. First, the arm to the targeting guide can rotate 360 degrees around the nail, eliminating the need to reposition the nail base. Second, there are adjustable guide holes in the arm of the targeting guide that enables surgeons the ability to place screws without coming into contact with nail. Both of these additions should help to expedite intra-operative techniques.
