MMI Product: SMART TOE ™

INTRAMEDALLARY MEMORY IMPLANT
The Smart Toe™ implant was specifically developed for Hammertoe arthrodesis.

Advantages:

  • One piece implant ( no “connection” required)
  • No post-op implant exposure
  • No healthy joint disruption
  • Eliminates risk of “pin tract” infection
  • Compressive feature reduces non-union occurrence
  • Shape resists rotation

Brief technique:

  • Begin with a dorsal incision
  • Resect P1 and P2
  • Use the specific broaches to prepare (Fig. 1) the medullary canal (the starter awl or drill may be used to prepare a pilot hole)
  • Remove the implant from the freezer: the work time before expansion is approximately 1.5 to 2 minutes
  • Using the provided forceps, start the implantation in P1 (proximal) and then P2 (distal) by flexion/ distraction of the PIP joint
