Product Description
Equipped with calibrated distraction rods that allow for micro-incremental adjustments (e.g., 1mm per day), essential for successful distraction osteogenesis and gradual tissue expansion.
The system's modular design enables the surgeon to independently adjust for adduction, equinus, and varus/valgus, ensuring a comprehensive anatomical restoration of the complex foot structure.
Constructed from high-grade alloys to provide superior stiffness, preventing loss of reduction or premature bone consolidation while maintaining optimal alignment under physiological stress.
Designed to minimize metal interference in the articulating joint areas, allowing for clearer X-ray monitoring of the callus formation and joint alignment throughout the correction period.
Primary indication for the stepwise correction of congenital or acquired foot deformities, including clubfoot (Equinovarus) and everted foot (Equinovalgus) through stable external support.
Indicated for distraction osteogenesis of the tibia or short bones of the foot to increase anatomical length and correct leg length discrepancies.
Used to provide stable fixation following joint fusion (arthrodesis) or complex osteotomies where standard internal fixation is precluded by soft tissue or bone quality issues.

The 5200-1206 is a specialized orthopedic scaffold used to reshape the foot or grow new bone. It is an external system, meaning the mechanics sit outside the skin, connected to the bone by pins. It is unique because it is "active"—the rods can be turned daily by the patient or surgeon to slowly move the foot into a healthy position or to stretch a gap in the bone to make it longer.
This fixator is applied in reconstruction clinics to treat severe clubfoot (talipes) that cannot be fixed by casts alone. It is also a workhorse for limb lengthening. Surgeons use it to treat children or adults who were born with one leg shorter than the other or who lost bone length due to trauma or bone infection.
The main advantage is precise, gradual control. Unlike surgery that cuts and resets bone instantly, this fixator moves tissues 1mm at a time. This allows the nerves, skin, and blood vessels to stretch safely alongside the bone, which dramatically reduces the risk of nerve damage or poor wound healing in complex deformities.
Biomechanically, the fixator relies on tension-stress effects. By pulling on a surgical cut in the bone (osteotomy), the 5200-1206 struts create a tension field. The body responds to this pull by growing new bone and soft tissue in the space created. The struts are stiff enough to prevent the bone from collapsing but allow enough micro-motion to stimulate rapid healing.
In the OR, the surgeon performs a precise cut in the bone and mounts the 5200-1206 using percutaneous pins. After a "latency period" of about 5-7 days, the "distraction phase" begins. The patient or caregiver is taught to turn the nuts on the struts according to a specific schedule, slowly corrective the deformity or lengthening the bone until the goal is met.
Care is long-term. Patients must maintain the pin sites to prevent infection and participate in "weight-bearing" exercises, as the fixator protects the bone while allowing it to get strong through activity. Once the new bone (callus) has turned into hard bone on X-rays, the fixator is removed, and the patient transitions to a walking boot.
The Talipes & Bone Lengthening Fixator 5200-1206 is a life-changing instrument in limb reconstruction. Its high-precision distractors and stable construction allow for the successful treatment of severe deformities and short limbs, restoring mobility and balance to patients who previously faced permanent disability.
The standard rate is usually 1mm per day, often split into four turns of 0.25mm each. This pace ensures the soft tissues and blood vessels can keep up with the bone growth.
Surprisingly, most patients feel a "tightness" rather than acute pain when the struts are turned, as the movement is extremely gradual. Pain is usually well-managed with standard medication during the first week.
The fixator typically stays on for twice as long as the lengthening phase. For example, if it takes 30 days to lengthen 3cm, it will stay on for another 60 days to let that new bone harden (mineralize).
Yes. One of the major benefits of external fixators like the 5200-1206 is that they are strong enough to allow "partial-to-full weight-bearing," which actually helps the bone grow faster.
The rods are usually made of surgical stainless steel or hard-anodized aluminum for strength, while the connecting pins are made of highly biocompatible titanium alloy.
