Ascension Orthopedics Introduces True Modularity With MOVEMENTâ„¢ Great Toe System

January 20, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Ascension
Orthopedics, Inc., a leader in orthopedic extremity implants,
announces the expansion of the MOVEMENT™ Great Toe Implant
System to include a total arthroplasty component. This complete
great toe arthroplasty system now allows surgeons the
intra-operative choice to perform hemi-resurfacing for either side
of the joint or total joint replacement.  

Available in four sizes, the MOVEMENT Great Toe System provides
cannulated instrumentation for ease of use and utilizes a conical
reaming approach for minimal bone resection and retention of
plantar soft tissue attachments. This truly modular system provides
surgeons a complete solution for great toe arthroplasty in one
instrument set.

“The anatomical shape of the MOVEMENT Great Toe implants and the
cannulated instrumentation allow for better remodeling of the joint
surfaces compared to other commercially available implants and
offer a complete approach to first metatarsophalangeal joint
arthroplasty,” said William Montross, DPM, of Front Range
Orthopedics in Colorado Springs, CO.

The MOVEMENT Great Toe System reflects Ascension’s dedication to
expanding its foot and ankle product offering which includes: the
Total Foot System, a procedure-specific, locking plate system for
forefoot, midfoot and hindfoot surgery; the CAPTURE™ Screw
System, a comprehensive cannulated fixation solution for extremity
surgeons; and the PyroSphere™ TMT, the first PyroCarbon
implant available for the foot.

“The expansion of the MOVEMENT Great Toe System to include a
total arthroplasty device demonstrates the company’s leadership
role in extremity orthopedics and highlights our commitment to
providing innovative solutions for the specific challenges faced by
foot and ankle surgeons,” stated Guy Mayer, President and CEO of
Ascension Orthopedics.

Ascension Orthopedics was founded in Austin, Texas in 1992. The
company’s first
