All You Need to Know About the DynaNail Mini®Fusion System for Medial Column Fusion

Charcot foot is a rare condition that affects people with peripheral neuropathy or who suffer from diabetes mellitus. The condition affects the joints, bones and soft tissues of the ankle or foot; whereby,the bones become brittle and prone to fractures. If not caught and treated in the early stages of development, patients suffer foot collapse and deformation. These deformities can lead to the development of pressure sores or ulcers in the ankle or foot. These open wounds can, in turn, become infected, eventually leading to amputation.

Surgery is used as a last resort and is only recommended for patients with severe foot or ankle deformities and are at high risk of developing foot ulcers. The goals of the surgery are to stabilize the fractured bones and allow them to heal properly. The surgery involves realigning and stabilizing the bones to encourage healing in a position that allows the patient to weight-bear.

In order to achieve healing and keep stable, continuous compression must be maintained across the joints. This proved difficult to accomplish until recently withthe introduction of MedShape’s DynaNailMini® Fusion System for medial columnthat provides surgeons with an effective means to achieve joint stability and promote bone healing.

The DynaNailMini features MedShape’s revolutionary Nitinol(nickel titanium) technology. This helps to maintain active compression in the foot post-surgery. This device is the first internal fixation device that has been specifically designed for use in both medial column and subtalar fusion that provides constant compression across the fusion sites.

The internal compression nail was first launched in 2019 with lengths varying from 60 to 100mm. The latest version now offers even longer lengths (110 to 140mm) providing patients with greater stability across the midfoot.

These Nitinol implants aren’t reserved just for treating patients with Charcot neuroarthropathy. They are also widely used for other complicated large bone fusion procedures in the foot and ankle that require great stability and sustained compression for proper healing.

The DynaNailMini provides patients with a higher chance of achieving a successfulfusion by maintaining active compressionthrough the internal Nitinol Compressive Element. The superelasticityof the Nitinol Element also ensures better load sharing and reduces the risk of implant failure allowingpatients to get back on their feet faster. Finally, the dual locking screws in the implant reduces the risk device migration that is common with other beaming devices. .

DynaNail Mini® Fusion System – Subtalar Fusion Surgical Technique Guide

Subtalar fusion surgery is performed to relieve pain and correct severe foot deformity by achieving a solid bony union. According to the Association for the Study of Internal Fixation principles, compression across a fusion site promotes bone healing and also provides stability by maximizing bone-to-bone contact and limiting micro-motion. The DynaNail Mini® Fusion System from MedShape is an innovative nail system that maintains active compression across the subtalar joint using its proprietary internal NiTiNOL Compressive Element that automatically responds to changes in loading due to bone resorption or settling. Read this file to learn about the Subtalar Fusion surgical technique guide using The DynaNail Mini® Fusion System. For more information, visit www.medshape.com.

Why The DynaNail Mini® is Considered the Ultimate Choice in Treating Complex Foot Pathologies

Often times, patients with severe flatfoot deformity or arthritis are subjected to treatment options that may include medication, rest or other such conservative methods. When these methods fail and the pain continues to interfere with walking and other day-to-day activities, fusion surgery  is considered as the next option in the treatment continuum.

Subtalar fusion is a form of joint fusion surgery that aims at uniting the talar and calcaneal bones together. The goal of this procedure is to restore function, relieve pain and make the joint stable enough to bear weight so that patients can walk and perform their daily routine activities following the procedure.

The NiTiNOL advantage

Medshape’s DynaNail Mini® is quickly replacing compression screws as the surgeon’s tool of choice for treating complex hindfoot pathologies. There are several reasons for this.

1.     The DynaNail Mini® offers dynamic compression capabilities

Screws are commonly used to hold the bones in place by applying compression. This compression, in turn, promotes the fusion of the bones. However, screws often aren’t able to hold compression following the surgical procedure when bone resorption and joint settling occurs.

On the other hand, the internal NiTiNOL Element allows the DynaNail Mini® to respond to bone resorption and settling in the joint and  maintain dynamic compression throughout the healing process.

2.     The DynaNail Mini®  improves joint stability

The ability of the internal compression nail to maintain compression as well as its transverse screw components help to improve joint stability. While traditional compression screws pose the risk of loosening or migration from the point of installation, there is no such risk when The DynaNail Mini® is used. The transverse screws prevent migration or movement, thus ensuring the joint remains stable throughout the healing process.

3.     Using The DynaNail Mini®  is simple

The DynaNail Mini® comes preloaded on a disposable nail guide with the NiTiNOL Element in the pre-stretched position. The surgeon only needs to connect the nail guide to the targeting frame and insert the implant. This reduces the number of steps the surgeon must perform, therefore improving the efficiency in the OR.

The DynaNail Mini® Fusion System is proving to be a game changer when it comes to treating complex hindfoot pathologies. For more information, visit www.medshape.com.
