Ankle Nail

The Ankle Fusion Nail (AFN) brings the simplified instrumentation of the Manyetix Nail System to the hindfoot. The AFN features an oblique locking configuration that allows surgeons to maximize thread purchase by locking into better bone.

The AFN advantage allows surgeons to target screws through the calcaneus and into specific bones to attain the most stable construct while at the same time gaining fusion between the calcaneus and surrounding bones. Fusion is further aided by allowing screws to cross the articulating surfaces of the calcaneus and talus, as well as the calcaneus and cuboid bones.

The Manyetix AFN offers threaded distal screw holes for added stability and reduced risk of screw back out. In addition, the surgeon may select not to use specific holes or to use shorter screws that allow the joints to maintain mobility. Rotational stability is also achieved by either a proximal static locking hole or dynamic compression slot in the proximal end of the nail.
