GRIDLOCK ANKLE PLATING SYSTEM The Gridlock Ankle Plating System consists of titanium plates, screws, and instrumentation for applications in the bones of the ankle including trauma and corrective surgical procedures. PLATING SYSTEMS Screw options include 2.7, 3.5, and 4.0mm low profile solid core locking and non-locking screws, 4.0mm cannulated screws, and syndesmotic screws with a tapered core designed for greater strength • Minimized post operative plate palpability with vanishing edge design and limited surface contact with Gridlock technology • Triple relief hole configuration design intended to increase plate malleability while maintaining plate strength • Skive feature on proximal and distal edges to aid in plate placement • Low profile, pre-bent, pre-contoured specialty

GRIDLOCK ANKLE PLATING SYSTEM SURGICAL TECHNIQUE STEP 1: Identify, expose, and prepare the surgical site. STEP 2: Reduce the fracture, osteotomy, or fusion site. STEP 3: Select appropriate plate for fixation of fracture, osteotomy, or fusion. Though plates are precontoured, slight adjustments may be required and made using the plate bending instruments. Warning: Excessive or multiple plate bends may cause weakness in the plate. STEP 4: Apply the plate to the prepared site. The plate may be temporarily fixated with either olive wires or K-wires.
