TALEX Design Rationale
SYSTEM FEATURES AND KEY BENEFITS
Implants are designed with axial cut channels and cross holes on the medial stem to facilitate ingrowth which may decrease the chance of implant migration
Grippex™ thread technology designed to improve bite and reduce rotational backout
5MM - 10MM size options to accommodate anatomical differences and address various clinical scenarios and surgical needs
Patented reverse thread instrument for repositioning or removal
The Talex™ Technique
REIMAGINING SUBTALAR STABILIZATION
Talex™ subtalar implants are an alternative treatment to more complicated surgeries like calcaneal lengthening which have a longer recovery time.
Surgeons trained with Vilex subtalar implants utilize a quick, minimally-invasive outpatient procedure. The procedure starts with a small incision, typically less than once inch. Through this small incision, a Talex™ implant is inserted into the sinus tarsi, a natural gap between two bones in the ankle. The implant is designed to restore the mid-foot bones to their normal orientation.
