ATLAS One of the most common challenges when surgically addressing thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) instability is to reproducibly restore thumb stability and function without the need to employ the use of a graft.
Medacta’s Anatomic Thumb Ligament Arthroplasty System (ATLAS) is an anatomic thumb carpal-metacarpal (CMC) reconstruction device for use as adjunct fixation of the 1st and 2nd metacarpals in CMC arthroplasty.

The ATLAS technique corrects thumb CMC instability and provides rapid return to function by placing stable suture-based anchor fixation at the anatomic insertion sites of the thumb basal ligament.
Key Features
Suspensory CMC arthroplasty construct does not require a tendon graft harvest
Anatomic repair maximizes recovery of normal thumb range of motion and rapid return to activities
Single incision approach lessens wound healing issues and eliminates risk of disrupting the dorsoradial sensory nerve
Small insertion footprint and sub-cortical fixation for a strong, stable, bone sparing technique with 54 lbf anchor pull-out strength1
Single procedural sterile kit including implants and disposable instruments, for safety and convenience
