Previous | Next Next

Incision

  • The implantation of the Kalix® requires a minimal incision just anterior (+/- 1.5 cm) and plantar to the external malleolus
  • An "S" shape incision allows an excellent access to the Sinus Tarsi


  • Care is taken in order to safeguard the personal tendon as well as the Nervus Safena and its ramification which is located close to the malleolus


Access to the Sinus Tarsi

  • A direct access to the Sinus Tarsi is obtained, followed by a surgical debridement and cleaning in order to be able to introduce the trial endorthesis as well as the final endorthesis
  • There should be no destruction of the cervical and interosseous ligaments
