The mini TightRope FT, now available in metal, was developed to offer surgeons a new technique for the correction of the intermetatarsal angle (IMA) for hallux valgus. As is with the standard mini TightRope placed distally, the mini TightRope FT can support correction of the IMA if used proximally along the 1st metatarsal. The mini TightRope FT uses a fully threaded corkscrew FT, Fiber Wire and a stainless steel cup button. The proximally placed anchor/suture button construct will support reduction of the intermetatarsal angle, while allowing soft tissue remodelling and stabilization. The Mini TightRope FT has other applications such as lisfranc ligament repair and syndesmotic trauma fixation of the dorsal distal radioulnar ligament (DRUL) disruptions.
