Enovis’ Post

1) rich clinical history documenting robust long term metal survivorship + 2) vastly superior e+ poly, addressing oxidative fracture mode of legacy UHMWPE polys and dramatically reducing wear rate + 3) patient specific instrument to greatly simplify procedure/reduce OR time = New and better than ever ⭐️

After 3 1/2 years of work, research, and extensive clinical testing, we are excited to introduce the first implant change to the STAR ankle in 15 years. The only mobile bearing system on the market with a vitamin e (E+) poly and one that works to further improve the phenomenal long term published survivorship data that already exists. E+ Poly takes this already great implant to the next level by introducing a material that is proven to provide resistance to oxidation, provide consistent wear rates, and more stable mechanical properties even in the cases of accelerated aging. In extensive bench top testing, the E+ poly showed no signs of fracture in even the most extreme situations (cycle time, extreme load, accelerated aging, and acentric loading). Since aquiring the STAR ankle in November of 2021, we have been hard at work to give this proven and trusted implant the updates it deserves. E+ Poly, coupled with patient specific instrumentation, now elevates the STAR+ experience and aims to drive further efficiency in the OR and improve longterm outcomes. If it’s been awhile since you used STAR, it may be time to give it a second look. See how Enovis Foot & Ankle is continuing to Redefine INNOVATION and PATIENT OUTCOMES every step! #footandankle #totalankle #creatingbettertogether

Dee’s Pick for BEST Brace Closure Also referred to as hook and loop , the bulk of the braces I have experience with use Velcro to fasten and secure the brace. I believe it is used because it is easy, stick it on, peel it off. I am very vocal about my dislike of Velcro, but the feeling is mutual. Velcro hates me. Proof here..... https://lnkd.in/gkEdvyZY But this post is NOT about Velcro. In my opinion, the absolute, hands down, best closure option is from the Saebo Step...... https://lnkd.in/gFfAgkdA While velcro loses adhesion over time, the Saebo Step closure is showing NO signs of slowing down. Many people with gait complications might also have challenges with hand coordination. This closure, due to the magnetic feature, just grabs and clasps into place with little, to no effort, a perfect option for someone with hand weakness, tremors, etc. The only problem with this type of closure is with the magnet in relation to MRI’s. People with MS tend to get frequent MRI’s, so the SaeboStep must be kept outside the MRI room. If you are able to unmute the video, just listen to the sound it makes as it closes! Fabulous!

NEW extensor mechanism repair with graft augmentation technique! Aaron Krych MD (Rochester, MN), demonstrates a technique for quadriceps tendon repair with graft augmentation using one Double Knotless and two Hybrid Knee FiberTak® anchors. Knotless tensionable Knee FiberTak technology is a game changer for knee ligament and tendon repairs, augmentations, and reconstructions. https://lnkd.in/eUn4DjiG
