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
