Smith & Nephew launched the HAT-TRICK Lesser Toe Repair System.
The system is comprised of three separate repair options, and it includes products for metatarsophalangeal ligament repair and reconstruction, a metatarsal osteotomy guide, and a revisable, all-PEEK implant for proximal Inter-phalanges fusion, also known as hammer toe correction.
"Although treating lesser toe deformities is extremely common, getting consistently predictable outcomes has eluded surgeons worldwide," said Charles Saltzman, MD, chairman of the system's scientific advisory board. "Current standards of treatment are known to have unacceptably high complication rates. The HAT-TRICK system is a new three-part approach designed to not only treat the deformity, but also the underlying problem that led to the deformity in the first place."
