INTEOS® LOWER LEG SYSTEMS

INTEOS® Tibia distal System
INTEOS® Fibula System

Lower leg fractures are most frequently the result of high energy trauma, because of which they are often associated with serious soft-tissue injuries. These injuries may be hidden to the eye, seem deceivingly subtle in appearance or be quite manifestly serious.

Soft-tissue considerations routinely determine surgical options, strategies and timing and pose serious challenges, placing high demands on the surgeon as well as on the versatility, safety and effectiveness of instruments and implants used.

Our INTEOS® Lower leg Systems are designed and developed, in conjunction with renowned clinical experts in the field, to be up to those challenges.

Treatment options

Our INTEOS® System for the distal tibia offers anatomically pre-shaped, VA-locking plates for the treatment of intra- and extra-articular metaphyseal fractures of the distal tibia. The system includes customized plate options for all three distal tibial columns, providing 360° treatment options to anatomically reduce and support the distal tibial articular surface, reconstruct the tibial pilon and reattach it to the tibial shaft.

Main features and benefits
Carefully shaped and sized plate for anterolateral, medical and posterior column support that provides guidance for fracture reduction and offers a variety of standard locking screw options to maximize overall construct stability
Footprint, profile and processing of the plate help the surgeon to respect the tight soft tissue envelope and minimize additional soft tissue trauma
Unparalleled and partially overlapping polyaxial locking options to reduce and stabilize even the most complex fracture morphologies
Plate models with or without removable loops for additional and customized iuxta-articular locking screw options

INTEOS® Fibula System

Hofer_Medical_Solutions_Fibula
Treatment options

Hofer’s ‘stand-alone’ solution system of left- and right-sided versions of anatomically pre-shaped, VA-locking plates for the primary and secondary treatment of fractures and osteotomies of the fourth column of the distal tibia.

Main features and benefits
Designed with a dual option of a maximum of 9 metaphyseal, standard or VA locking screws with a diameter of 3.0 or 2.5 for optimal stabilization of the lateral malleolus, adapting to the patient's individual anatomy and/or fracture pattern
Standard stem lengths up to 164 mm and longer available on special order to accommodate proximal fracture extension

Shank design with customized hole for the placement of additional syndesmosis screws
