The device is the first system to offer a short high-strength structure bridge, eliminating the risk of complications associated with broken syndesmotic screws, the company said in an Oct 22 news release . It lets surgeons perform syndesmotic fixation without medial incisions or hardware.

“FIBULINK has become my go-to for syndesmotic fixation,” Samuel B. Adams, MD, a foot and ankle surgeon with Duke Health in Durham, N.C. said “The system combines flexible fixation, the ability to dial in compression, and no need to penetrate the medial cortex into one easily insertable device.”
