Together, these form a unique internal construct that provides great versatility to the surgeon.
Features:
- Three sizes available: mini, small and medium
- Utilizes standard cortical and cancellous screws
- Can be used with open or minimally invasive techniques
- Versatile system require less inventory
- Rods can be cut to length
