Stryker Asnis JFX™
The Stryker Asnis JFX™ is an intramedullary screw specifically deisgned for the fixation of Jones fractures. They come in both cannulated and solid-core designs in 4.0mm, 5.0mm and 6.0mm diameters. The screws offer a low profile, smooth head, to eliminated hardware prominence. The large diameters available offer exception stiffness.
The available washers allow for load distribution about the insertion site of the screw to minimize the possibility of screw cut-in. The sighting arm ensures optimal screw location, to ensure anatomic reduction and maximal construct stability. The arm also allows for extracorporeal measurement of screw length to minimize the chance of incorrect or inaccurate measurement.
