BREAKTHROUGH TREATMENT FOR A COMMON FRACTURE
MIDSHAFT CLAVICLE FRACTURES ARE COMMON
LEGACY
TREATMENTS
HAVE BEEN
SUBOPTIMAL
Historically midshaft clavicle fractures have been treated non-operatively or with plates. Both approaches, while appropriate for some cases, have significant drawbacks. Various intramedullary devices have also been tried, but fallen short.
NON-OPERATIVE
– Non-unions, malunions
– Shortening
– Slower recovery
– Initial compromised function
– Poor aesthetics
PLATES
- Large incision
- Supraclavicular neuropathy
- Hardware irritation requiring secondary intervention
- Scarring, poor aesthetics
- Risk of refracture after removal
LEGACY INTRAMEDULLARY DEVICES
- Prominent protruding hardware
- Telescoping, migration
- Wound breakdown
- Secondary shortening
- Frequent secondary interventions
- Indicated for a small subset of fractures
THE ANSWER
IS THE ANSER
Designed specifically for the surgical management of midshaft clavicle fractures, the Anser Clavicle Pin has the potential to disrupt the market and become the leading treatment in the near future. It solves multiple problems associated with legacy therapies, facilitating excellent clinical and aesthetic outcomes with minimal risk of infection, or need for secondary interventions.
- Minimally invasive procedure
- No bump, no droop, no large scar
- Excellent union rates
- Excellent functional outcomes
- Allows for early rehab, return to activity
- Reduced healthcare cost, time away from work and family
