Kent Ellington, MD, from OrthoCarolina, moderates a conversation about the uses of CERAMENT G in foot and ankle procedures with Chris Kreulen, MD, from University of California – Davis Health, and Victor Anciano, MD, University of Louisville Health.

The conversation highlights the usage of CERAMENT G and the 2-CAN delivery device for hindfoot and TTC nailing, where CERAMENT G is delivered alongside intramedullary fixation to provide both bone remodeling and targeted local antibiotic delivery. The panel reviews and discusses several publications on single-stage procedures achieving infection eradication and intramedullary nailing with CERAMENT G as a reproducible technique.
