Ankle Fracture SystemsPhantom® Fibula Nail System

The Paragon 28® Phantom® Fibula Nail System provides surgeons a less invasive and less prominent alternative to open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) for unstable fibula fractures. A comprehensive array of instrumentation is provided to help reduce the fibula per surgeon preference.

The system includes an entry K-wire guide to help streamline and improve the reproducibility of the initial K-wire placement, optimizing the start point and a curved reamer guide to help prevent eccentric reaming of the fibula shaft. The Phantom® Fibula Nail Outrigger expedites the placement of screws and syndesmotic devices through the nail and can be used to help control reduction of the fibula to the desired position. The Outrigger is designed to be radiolucent and allow adequate visualization of relevant anatomy during the procedure.

The Phantom® Fibula Nail System includes a proximal fixation feature that can be deployed after establishing proper reduction of the fibula. The proximal fixation feature expands to help fill the fibular canal and prevent rotation or potential fracture collapse. The distal end of the nail contains 3 threaded holes that accommodate 2.7 mm screws which are designed to secure the distal fragment of the fracture to the nail.

The nail features two locations to accommodate a variety of syndesmotic fixation devices including Paragon 28® R3FLEX Stabilization System, Paragon 28® R3ACT Stabilization System, and 3.5mm Threaded Pegs. The nail implant offering includes 2.8, 3.4, 4.0, and 5.5 mm in diameter and lengths of 130 mm, 180 mm, and 270 mm to accommodate the majority of patient anatomies.
