The TrueLok Phantom Hinge allows surgeons to achieve precise alignment when performing joint distraction or contracture correction procedures by maintaining the axis of rotation and joint mobility. The hinge is radiolucent, which makes it ideal for use with the TrueLok EVO System. The TrueLok Tornado Hinge features a flexible spring-like design that enables the natural joint motion to be restored following a joint distraction procedure. The Phantom Hinges and the Tornado Hinges are both for use in ankle and knee applications and sterile packaged for quick and easy use.
“As we celebrate the 30-year legacy of the TrueLok Ring Fixation System this year, we are proud to continue to innovate and build on this foundational technology that has to date been used by surgeons to treat more than 100,000 patients worldwide,” said Kimberley Elting, President of Global Orthopedics. “With the launch of these two new additions, Orthofix now has the most comprehensive hinge portfolio, demonstrating a continued commitment to invest in our industry-leading circular frame portfolio.”
