The AppianFx line of implants from KFx reattach tissue to bone in shoulder, knee, foot and ankle procedures

"While the AppianFx family of implants is successfully being adopted by orthopedic surgeons for a variety of repair and reconstruction procedures in the shoulder and knee, we are excited about offering foot and ankle surgeons anchors for small joint procedures and the early customer feedback has been nothing short of remarkable."
