Surgical tecnique by Guvenir Okcu, M.D. CONTENTS 03 Introduction 04 Preoperative planning 06 Anterior Plate 08 Medial Spoon Plate 10 Medial Fork Plate 12 Anatomic Fibula Plate 14 1/3 Tubular Plate 16 Ordering Information Introduction The low profile Ankle Fracture Plating System plates reduce the risk of injury to distal tibia medial soft tissue due to its shape and made of highstrength titanium alloy. The plates, due to its anatomic shapes, are placed sensitively close to joint areas towards the diaphysis The surgeons generally don’t need to bend the plates to match the patient’s anatomy...

Locking and Non-Locking Screw Screw Size 2.3mm 2.7mm 3.5mm and 4.0mm Applying Non-Locking screw • Use related drill bit and non-threaded drill guide, • Determine necessary screw with gauge (00-0907-00) • Apply the selected screw with quick release( QR ) handle (00-1011-01) and applicable driver tip. Applying Non-Locking screw compression purposes • Use related drill bit and non-threaded drill guide from far cortex to fracture, • Determine necessary screw with depth gauge(00-0907-00), • Apply the selected screw...

STEP Foot & Ankle Solutions Product Features Ankle Fracture Plating System Anatomic Distal Tibia Anterior Plate Locking screw holes provide stronger fixation Low profile helps minimize potential discomfort and soft tissue irritation Compression slots provide plate positioning and fracture compression Average plate thickness 1,6mm Diverging styloid screw Contoured plates mimic the anatomy of the distal tibia 2,3mm locking raft screws are for subchondral support Plate window is for articular surface reduction, grafting, radiographic visualization and microflexion to support the healing...

STEP Foot & Ankle Solutions Surgical Technique Ankle Fracture Plating System 1. Articular Reduction The bone fracture will be reducted with the bone forceps after the incision. 2. Plate Placement Plate will be placed at the anterolateral part of the distal tibia just above the subchondral bone in order to support articular area and metaphyseal bone in case of comminution. There are three optional sizes of anteriolateral plates as short, medium and long ( see above ). The surgeon should select the one that fits on the patient’s anatomy and fracture pattern 3. Fixation 1.8mm K-wires...
