Vira Calcaneal Nail

Vira is a system for reconstruction-arthrodesis of severe calcaneal fractures, consisting of a nail with holes and screws for fastening to the talus.

Nail and both tuberotalar screws enables the reconstruction of fractured calcaneus bone and arthrodesis with the talus, arresting mobility of the subtalar joint through a minimally invasive approach. The objective is to recover the form of the foot and avoid long-term degeneration of the joints.
 

It can be used for:

• Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures.
• Consequences of intra-articular calcaneal fractures: subtalar arthrosis and defective consolidation.

What does Vira offer?

• Minimally invasive surgery, closed ceiling reconstruction using cannulation technique.
• Reconstruction of previous bone shape, restoring the foot to the normal physiognomy it had prior to the lesion.
• Elimination of chronic residual pain through fixation of the subtalar joint.
• Early mobility and loading, within approximately two weeks.
• Specific and simple instrumentation.
