Sports Medicine FixButton™ Fixation Device

A: The Sports Medicine Tabbed Titanium Plate is a medical device made of a composite material consisting of titanium and other metals (e.g., steel, copper) that is primarily used to immobilize ligaments or tendons to bone in orthopedic reconstructive surgery. It has good strength and toughness, as well as excellent biocompatibility.

A: Tabbed titanium plates are usually made of high quality titanium alloy. Titanium alloy has excellent biocompatibility and rarely rejects after implantation, and can be well compatible and integrated with human tissues. At the same time, it also has good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, safe and stable for long-term use in the body, able to withstand a certain degree of tension and pressure, to ensure the fixation effect.

A: The fixation strength of titanium plates with tabs is usually high, which can meet the needs of ligament or tendon and bone fixation in orthopedic reconstruction surgery. The exact fixation strength depends on the design and manufacturing quality of the product, as well as the correct application during the surgical procedure.

A: While there are risks associated with any implantation procedure, complications with tabbed titanium plates are relatively rare. Possible complications include postoperative infection, loosening and fracture of the titanium plate, wear and tear and fracture of the tabs, but the incidence of these is low. The risk of complications can be effectively reduced by strict preoperative preparation, standardized surgical operation and postoperative care.
