TALARLOCK/PANTALARLOCK Polyaxial locking plates for arthrodeses of the upper ankle and subtalar joint from posterolateral Material Plates Screws Indications TALARLOCK: Arthrodeses of the upper ankle joint Upper ankle and subtalar joint arthrodeses, for a combined fusion of the upper ankle and subtalar joint Contraindications Contraindications exist in the case of acute infections that could hinder the healing process due to the implants used, far-advanced osteoporosis, severe circulatory disorders and known allergies to surgical implant materials. There are restrictions with patients with...

Surgical technique Arthrodeses of the upper ankle and subtalar joint TALARLOCK/PANTALARLOCK Characteristics » From a surgical perspective, the plate allows for an easy posterolateral approach to the upper ankle joint and subtalar joint without affecting any major anatomical structures, less impairment of wound-healing » Both joints can be approached via one incision, no alteration of plantar soft tissue » Optimum control of the axial heel when the patient is in a prone position with a possible extension in terms of posterior preparation » Excellent compression of the arthrodesis space...

PLATE OSTEOSYNTHESIS Patient Positioning Prone position Posterolateral Approach Make a central incision between the posterior edge of the fibular malleolus and the lateral Achilles tendon edge. Cave: sural nerve and small saphenous vein must be spared. Preparation of subcutis, longitudinal splits of the fascia. Cave: medial protection of the tendon of flexor hallucis longus. Insertion of a large blunt retractor with joint. Removal of cartilage in upper ankle joint together with removal of osteophytes. Elongation of upper ankle joint and subsequently subtalar with Hintermann spacer. Complete...

Surgical technique Arthrodeses of the upper ankle and subtalar joint Plate osteosynthesis TALARLOCK/PANTALARLOCK PANTALARLOCK Plate Position It is possible to fasten the plate to the tibia shaft deploying K-wires Ø 1.8 mm (750.614318). To ensure an optimum placement, the use of an image intensifier is recommended. The screw-to-plate locking is carried out tightening one screw after the other, starting from the tibia down to the calcaneus. 1. To fasten the plate, insert the two tibial angle-stable cortical screws Ø 5.5 mm. Drill the guide hole with an angle-stable drill sleeve (750.104510)...

3. Insert the two talar angle-stable cortical screws Ø 5.5 mm. Continuous monitoring with image intensifier. Drill the guide hole with angle-stable drill sleeve (750.104510) using a drill Ø 4.0 mm (750.111126). Measure for screw length with measuring device (750.105013). Position: anterior neck of the talus, centrally in os naviculare when talonavicular arthrodesis is desired (after cartilage removal). 4. Insert calcaneal angle-stable cancellous bone screws Ø 5.5 mm. Drill the core hole with angle-stable drill sleeve (750.104511) using a drill Ø 3.2 mm (750.111105). Measure for screw length...
