Kalix® - Surgical Technique
Previous | Next Next

  • Once the size of the endorthesis is defined, the implant is fixed on the specific Kalix® holder by turning the holder clockwise
  • The peaks of the unscrewer will be introduced in the imprints of the metallic insert for the unscrewing maneuver


  • The endorthesis is set in the Sinus Tarsi, at the level of the lateral border of the talus (10)
  • The holder is retrieved from the implant by unscrewing (counter-clockwise) of the holder while the unscrewer remains in steady position (with the two peaks in the metallic cone)


  • The double screwdriver is used for the final implantation of the endorthesis (holding it in the sinus tarsi along with a press-fit positioning)
  • The external part of the screwdriver has two peaks which fit into the imprints in the metallic conical insert, whereas the central part of the screwdriver will fit into the central axis of the endorthesis


  • The final setting of the implant is achieved by clockwise manipulation of the internal part of the screwdriver
  • The screwing maneuver will be completed by the locking of the system.
