The launches of the Gorilla\u00ae<\/sup> Pilon Fusion Plating System and the Phantom\u00ae<\/sup> TTC Trauma Nail mark a significant expansion of Zimmer Biomet’s foot and ankle trauma portfolio.<\/p>\n

“The launches of these two products underscore Zimmer Biomet’s commitment to developing innovations that help surgeons safely and efficiently address complex clinical problems,” said Albert DaCosta<\/span>, Global President Foot and Ankle, Zimmer Biomet. “By bringing these new solutions to market, we can offer physicians additional technologies to address patient populations that have historically had few reliable options.”<\/p>\n

\n The Gorilla Pilon Fusion Plating System<\/i>
\n
The Gorilla Pilon Fusion Plating System offers a solution for primary tibiotalar fusion in patients with pilon fractures. Pilon fractures account for approximately\u00a07% to 10% of all tibial fractures, <\/b>with a\u00a0small but clinically significant group of patients requiring primary ankle fusion due to severe comminution or articular surface loss.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

Developed in collaboration with leading orthopedic trauma foot and ankle surgeons, the system delivers reliable dual-column fixation for severe or malunited tibial pilon fractures. Its anatomically-contoured plates, precision-engineered instrumentation, and streamlined workflow enable stable fixation and fusion in a single procedure. Dual-plating constructs \u2014 available in various lengths \u2014 feature contoured anterolateral and medial options, optimized for both open and percutaneous approaches. Type II anodized plates are biomechanically engineered with region-specific thickness and tapered ends to reduce soft tissue disruption. Additional features include advanced percutaneous guides, long-shaft plate designs to span metaphyseal comminution and comprehensive joint preparation instrumentation.<\/p>\n

“This is only the second plate on the market specifically designed for primary ankle fusion in the setting of comminuted pilon fractures,” said Dr. Clayton Bettin<\/span>, Division Chief of Hospital Orthopedics at Campbell Clinic in Memphis, Tenn.<\/span> “The Gorilla Pilon Fusion System offers a lower-profile option that is anatomically contoured and enables stable fixation across both columns. It’s a major step forward in treating these otherwise devastating injuries.”<\/p>\n

\n The Phantom\u00a0TTC Trauma Nail
<\/i>Building on the proven Phantom\u00ae TTC Nail platform, the Phantom TTC Trauma Nail provides expanded lengths (150 mm, 300 mm, and 350 mm) and fixation capabilities to manage more demanding trauma cases, including complex pilon fractures requiring tibiotalocalcaneal fusion.<\/p>\n

“This new nail allows me to leverage the same trusted Phantom platform I use in elective cases, now adapted for trauma indications,” said\u00a0Dr. Max Michalski<\/span>, Foot and Ankle orthopedic surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.<\/p>\n
