TYLOS

The TYLOS™ ankle arthrodesis nail from the Be POD™ range has

a unique posterior locking system, thanks to implantation of a

trans-calcaneal screw of the threaded wedge type. This gua-

rantees considerable stability and thus reduces the risk of

disassembly of the system or migration of the screw.

INDICATIONS

The TYLOS™ nail is used in cases of combined talocrural and subtalar arthrodeses,

as well as in certain forms of distal pseudarthrosis of the tibia when the ankle joint

cannot be preserved.

Length: 160, 200, 250 mm

POSTERIOR FIXATION

INSTALLING THE PATIENT

The patient is placed in dorsal decubitus.

The leg to be operated is moved out of line and

raised in relation to the controlateral leg so as to

allow profi le controls with the X-ray image inten-

sifi er (Fig. 1).
