  • What is the Synthes Titanium Alloy High Tibial Osteotomy System used for?

    This system is designed to correct leg malalignments—specifically varus or valgus deformities—that contribute to unicompartmental osteoarthritis. By performing a high tibial osteotomy, it restores mechanical axis balance in the knee joint, promoting proper alignment and bone healing through the use of titanium alloy plates and locking screws.

  • How is the Synthes Titanium Alloy High Tibial Osteotomy System supplied?

    The system is supplied as a sterile, single-use surgical implant and instrument set. This ensures compliance with sterile surgical protocols and prevents cross-contamination, as the components are intended for one-time use in orthopedic procedures.

  • Is this system reusable or single-use?

    The Synthes Titanium Alloy High Tibial Osteotomy System is explicitly designed for single-use only. This is a standard practice for orthopedic implants to maintain sterility and reduce infection risks, requiring each set to be discarded after a single surgical procedure.

  • What materials are used in the Synthes Titanium Alloy High Tibial Osteotomy System?

    The system is constructed entirely from titanium alloy, a durable and biocompatible material chosen for its strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to integrate with bone over time. This ensures long-term stability at the osteotomy site.

  • How should the Synthes Titanium Alloy High Tibial Osteotomy System be stored?

    Storage must follow sterile surgical instrument protocols to preserve the system’s integrity before use. This includes maintaining sealed packaging, protecting from contamination, and adhering to manufacturer guidelines to ensure the sterility and functionality of the titanium alloy plates and screws.
