Since the technique was popularized over 40 years ago, smooth 1.1mm (0.045”) or 1.6mm (0.062”) Kirschner wires (K wires) have become the most common fixation for proximal interphalangeal fusion.

Progressive foot and ankle specialists have been seeking a means of providing fixation that is more stable than a K-wire as well as is able to mitigate the difficult post-operative management required by patients receiving this type of fixation. Designed to be simple, easy and effective, the ARROW-LOK™ Digital Fusion System is an innovative fixation device that enables the discerning surgeons to provide their patients a more effective level of care.
