About Us

We Eat, Sleep, and Breathe Foot & Ankle

In 2010, Paragon 28® was established as an orthopedic foot and ankle company. The name “Paragon 28” was chosen to show that we are exclusively a foot and ankle company, with the “28” representing the number of bones in the foot. We will remain true to that vision. Paragon 28® was started as a small, family-based company and we have kept those core ideals as we have grown.

TenoTac is a patent-pending procedure, developed by Paragon 28®, a soft tissue fixation system designed to permanently address the source of the toe contracture. Cannulated instrumentation allows for accurate and reproducible placement of the implant. A threaded titanium implant with a spiked base is used to achieve and hold soft tissue fixation.

The procedure requires minimal stapes to correct flexible and semi-rigid hammertoe, plantar plate insufficiency, MPJ instability, as well as other applications in the forefoot. Instrumentation facilitates a two-handed technique to achieve correction, temporary fixation, and final implant placement.
