(NYSE:GMED), a leading musculoskeletal solutions company, today announced it will feature its new ANTHEM® Mini Fragment Fracture System at the annual Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) meeting in Fort Worth, Texas, Oct 20-23, 2021.
The ANTHEM® Mini Fragment Fracture System is designed for fracture fixation of small bones and non-load-bearing stabilization of long bones in the upper and lower extremities. Implants are provided in titanium and stainless steel and include eight plate styles, including unique K-plates and mesh plates in a range of sizes.

Indications
The ANTHEM® Fracture System is indicated for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, arthrodesis and reconstruction of bones for the appropriate size of the device to be used in adult patients, including the clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, small bones (metacarpals, metatarsals, phalanges), wrist, pelvis, femur, tibia, fibula, ankle, and foot. The clavicle hook plate may be used for dislocations of the acromioclavicular joint. Mini fragment plates are also indicated for fixation of fractures of the acetabulum, patella, and bone fragments, replantation, malunions and nonunion, and for non-load-bearing stabilization and reduction of long bone fragments. Metaphyseal plates are indicated for non-load-bearing stabilization and reduction of long bone fragments, and for fixation of bones including the radius and ulna.
In addition, small fragment, mini fragment, proximal tibia, clavicle, metaphyseal, and distal fibula plates are indicated for use in infant, child, and adolescent pediatric subgroups and small stature adults. Distal radius, distal tibia, metaphyseal, and mini fragment plates are indicated for use in adolescents (12-21 years of age). Plating can be used in patients with osteopenic bone.
