Fibula Rod System
March 27, 2018
The Acumed Fibula Rod System offers an alternative approach to traditional fibular plating by providing fracture stability with a minimally invasive surgical technique. Utilizing a targeting guide, the fibula rod and interlocking screws can be inserted through small incisions, which may help minimize valuable surgery room time.

The Acumed Fibula Rod System offers an alternative approach to traditional fibular plating by providing fracture stability with a minimally invasive surgical technique. Utilizing a targeting guide, the fibula rod and interlocking screws can be inserted through small incisions, which may help minimize valuable surgery room time.
Key Features
- Minimally Invasive: The nail is inserted in the distal fibula through a minimal incision. Screws are inserted by making stab incisions to protect the soft tissue envelope and preserve vascularity of the periosteum.
- Anatomically Contoured: The nail has a 5° bend designed to fit the intramedullary canal of the fibula.
- Streamlined Procedure: The surgical technique consists of 8 steps from start to finish, streamlining valuable surgery time.
- Targeting Guide: The targeting guide aids in the anatomic placement of both A/P and M/L screws and allows for syndesmotic screw fixation.
