Indications
The MAXTORQUE™ and Mini MAXTORQUE™ Screw Systems are indicated
for use in long and small bone fracture, fusion, and osteotomy fixation, which
includes but is not limited to the following:
» Fractures of the tarsal and metatarsals
» Fractures of the olecranon, distal humerus
» Fractures of the radius and ulna
» Patellar fractures
» Distal tibia and pilon fractures
» Fractures of the fibula, medial malleolus, os calcis
» Tarso-metatarsal and metatarsal-phalangeal arthrodesis
» Metatarsal and phalangeal osteotomies
» Osteochondritis dissecans
» Ligament fixation
» Other small fragment, cancellous bone fractures and osteotomies
Contraindications
» Cases where there is an active infection
» Cases with malignant primary or metastasis tumors which preclude adequate
bone support or screw fixations, unless supplemental fixation or stabilization
methods are utilized.
» Conditions which tend to retard healing, such as blood supply limitations,
previous infections, etc.
» Insufficient quantity or quality of bone to permit stabilization of the fracture
complex.
» Conditions that restrict the patient’s ability or willingness to follow
