Ankle Plating System 3 Product Overview Acumed Small Fragment Base Set Required Acumed Variable Angle Screw Compatible

Acumed® Ankle Plating System 3 The Acumed Ankle Plating System 3 is designed to provide a variety of fixation options for fractures of the distal tibia and fibula. Designed in conjunction with Anish Kadakia, MD and Bruce Ziran, MD, the Ankle Plating System 3 is composed of seven plate families and a full selection of 4.0 mm cannulated screws designed specifically for the treatment of ankle fractures. The Ankle Plating System 3 is used in combination with the Acumed Small Fragment Base Set. The set includes One-Third Tubular Plates, as well as cut-to-length and bend-to-fit 2.7 mm L-shaped,...

Fibula Plates Posterolateral Fibula Plates Thinner both proximally and distally than our key competitors’ lateral fibula plates Lateral Fibula Plates The Lateral Fibula Plates include two plate holes labeled with an “S” which have a fixed 30° anterior angle to target the center of the tibia to help optimize syndesmosis screw positioning.1, 2 Lengths: 74–188 mm System Features The Posterolateral Fibula Plates sit under the peroneal tendons and contain three scallops labeled with an “S” that allow for syndesmosis screw fixation adjacent to the plate. The scallops may be targeted freehand or...

Posterior Malleolus Fracture Fixation The Ankle Plating System 3 incorporates 4.0 mm cannulated and cancellous screws, one-third tubular plates, fragment plates, and fragmentspecific plates for the posteromedial and posterolateral distal tibia to specifically address these difficult fracture patterns. Posterolateral Distal Tibia Plates The plates incorporate a unique contour designed to act as a template and to aid in anatomic fracture reduction. They include a distal cluster of 2.7 mm hexalobe screws that are angled approximately 15° superior to the joint space. Lengths: 48–60 mm...

Hook Plates Locking Peg Hook Plates Designed to support an avulsion fragment that may require additional stability, these plates include a 2.3 mm Cortical Peg across the fracture site. Lengths: 45–59 mm System Features Two prongs at the distal end are designed to support an avulsion fragment

Medial Anti-Glide Plate The plate is designed to address vertical shear fractures of the medial malleolus. Includes a distal hole cluster for 2.7 mm screws to capture fragments in cases with distal comminution.

Instrumentation and Design Syndesmosis Targeting Guide Published literature has shown that the target location for syndesmosis screw fixation should be at the center of the tibia, through the fibula, 1 to 3 centimeters above the tibial plafond. 3 Hook Plate Reduction Handle This handle allows for plate placement, and reduction of the avulsed fragment. The cannulated bolt enables drilling through the plate hole in which it is attached to. System Features The Syndesmosis Targeting Guide attaches to the Posterolateral Fibula Plates and allows the surgeon to target the desired angle for...

Small Fragment Base Set The set contains One-Third Tubular Plates available in a variety of lengths as well as 2.7 mm L-shaped, T-shaped, and straight Fragment Plates to treat small bone fractures and malunions. Plates are designed to minimize soft tissue irritation. Compatible with 2.7 mm locking, nonlocking, and variable angle hexalobe screws Plates are designed to be cut to desired length and bent prior to insertion or in situ 2.7 mm Fragment Plate Benders One-Third Tubular Plates Compatible with 3.5 mm nonlocking hexalobe screws Designed to minimize soft tissue irritation Lengths:...

Screw Options Small Fragment Base Set Screw sizes and types: 2.7 mm and 3.5 mm Variable Angle Locking Hexalobe Screws 2.7 mm and 3.5 mm Nonlocking Hexalobe Screws 2.7 mm and 3.5 mm Locking Hexalobe Screws 4.0 mm Partially and Fully Threaded Cancellous Hexalobe Screws System Features Variable Angle Hexalobe Screws Acumed plating systems supported by the Small Fragment Base Set accept screws that feature a hexalobe recess and are designed to have greater torsional strength in comparison to similar size hex screws.
