TightRope^®

The TightRope Syndesmosis provides fixation of syndesmosis disruptions with or without associated ankle fractures. The TightRope is comprised of a #5 FiberWire loop tensioned and secured between metallic buttons to provide physiologic stabilization of the ankle mortise.

Features & Benefits:
•Stronger than screws - Demonstrates fatigue life over two times that of standard metal screws.
•Eliminates screw complications - Eliminates broken screws and the possibility of stress fractures and the need for a second surgery.
•Simple technique - Minimal instrumentation and easy insertion reduces OR time.
