Why VeriFixx® Is The Best Treatment Plan For Your Hammer Toe
If you are one of the millions of Americans who suffer from hammer toe, you know how painful and frustrating it can be. You may have tried various treatments, but nothing seems to help. At A Step Ahead Foot & Ankle Center, we want to talk about the VeriFixx® treatment and why it is the best option to treat hammer toe and get great results. Keep reading to learn more about this revolutionary treatment option and contact us today to get started!
VeriFixx® Creates a Solid Structure for Better Healing
VeriFixx® is an implant that is placed in the joint and it creates a solid structure for the bones to heal around. This helps to realign the toe and takes the pressure off of the joints, which leads to less pain. Aside from this, the titanium coating used in the VeriFixx® implant makes for increased friction coefficient and healing.
VeriFixx® Can Shorten Time of Recovery
VeriFixx®, compared to K-Wire, is meant to allow for faster recovery and shorten the time you would be wearing a surgical boot or shoe. One of the primary factors that make this treatment the best solution for hammer toe is that its purpose is to get you back to your normal life in a short period — we want you walking normally again without issues in no time!
VeriFixx® is Meant to Overcome K-Wire’s Failure Rate
K-Wire has about a 30% failure rate, which is due to a number of reasons. VeriFixx®, on the other hand, is designed to overcome these failures for better success. VeriFixx’s® low profile also helps it avoid breaking through the skin like K-Wire does — another big advantage.
VeriFixx® Has Received FDA Clearance
VeriFixx® has received FDA clearance, which means that it is a safe and effective treatment option.
VeriFixx® is a Simple Ambulatory Surgery
The VeriFixx® surgery is an outpatient service, which means you can go home the same day.
Don’t Put Your Hammer Toe Treatment Off
For many people, the idea of having a wire sticking out of their toe for six to eight weeks is an immediate deterrent to getting their condition treated — and nobody can blame them, it’s often a painful solution and visually disturbing. When considering VeriFixx®, many of our previous patients have experienced less pain, faster recovery times, and an overall higher level of satisfaction compared to K-Wire treatment patients.
While K-Wire treatment has helped many people in the past, it’s time to put this early 1900s discovery to rest and have the new VeriFixx® implant take over as a better and more efficient hammer toe solution.
