Anika Therapeutics, Inc. products

Are you living with toe pain? Have you been diagnosed with arthritis of the toe (Hallux Rigidus) that is preventing you from doing the activities that you love? Many patients with toe pain or Hallux Rigidus are looking for alternative treatment options to a Toe Fusion Procedure, as they want to maintain range of motion in their big toe joint. Anika’s Toe Implant Systems are expertly designed to preserve motion, remove minimal bone and allow patients to resume desired activity levels. Arthritis of the toe can lead to deterioration, loss of cartilage, and the formation of painful bone spurs that can limit the range of motion of the toe joint. If the pain interferes with your life, surgery can help. Anika’s joint preservation toe implants prevent further damage to the joint while maintaining the patient’s natural motion. This is unlike a traditional toe fusion procedure, which reduces pain but also keeps your toes from bending.

Do you experience discomfort while walking? Do you consistently develop callouses or corns from the friction against your shoes? Are your toes crossing over other toes? These are symptoms and signs of hammertoe deformity, a painful condition that causes the toe to abnormally bend in the middle of the toe joint. With the help of an orthopedic surgeon or podiatrist, Anika’s hammertoe implants, patients can maintain a pain-free lifestyle following surgery. If surgery is required to relieve severe pain and deformity caused by a hammertoe, your surgeon will likely consider a hammertoe correction procedure to return your toe joint(s) to their natural position. Anika’s ToeMATE® System is completely embedded inside the patient’s toes, unlike traditional hammertoe procedures where pins can protrude out from the foot for up to six weeks. Anika’s ToeMATE System is clinically proven to provide a strong and stable repair.1
