Lateral Ankle Fusion Locking Plate | Tibiotalar Arthrodesis System | OrthoPro

Advanced Solution for Ankle Arthrodesis

At OrthoPro, we are dedicated to providing orthopedic surgeons with high-performance implants for complex foot and ankle reconstruction. The Lateral Ankle Fusion Locking Plate is a specialized implant designed to facilitate the fusion of the ankle joint (tibiotalar) or the ankle and subtalar joints (tibiotalocalcaneal). This system addresses the challenges of end-stage ankle arthritis, deformity, and instability by offering a robust construct via the lateral transfibular approach.

Our orthopedic implant portfolio is manufactured to the highest standards, ensuring biocompatibility and mechanical reliability. The Lateral Ankle Fusion Plate is designed to accept the fibula as an onlay graft or to replace the fibula, providing a stable platform that promotes rapid bone union through compression and rigid fixation.

Key Design Features and Surgical Benefits

The Lateral Ankle Fusion Locking Plate incorporates advanced engineering to streamline the surgical procedure and improve patient outcomes:

• Anatomical Contouring: The plate is pre-contoured to fit the anatomy of the lateral tibia, talus, and calcaneus (depending on the length). This reduces the need for intraoperative bending and minimizes soft tissue prominence.
• Multi-Planar Fixation: The distal holes are configured to allow screws to converge in the talus and calcaneus, maximizing pull-out strength and rotational stability.
• Compression Technology: The shaft features combination holes (Combi-holes) that allow for the use of cortical screws to achieve dynamic compression across the fusion site, followed by locking screws to maintain stability.
• Versatile Screw Compatibility: The system supports a range of screw sizes (typically 3.5mm, 4.0mm, or 4.5mm) to adapt to different bone qualities and patient anatomies.
• Transfibular Approach: Designed for the lateral approach, which allows for excellent visualization of the joint surface and preparation for fusion.

Material Specifications

To ensure long-term stability and biocompatibility, our **ankle fusion locking plates** are crafted from premium medical-grade materials:

Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V): The preferred material for ankle fusion due to its high fatigue strength, bio-inertness, and compatibility with MRI and CT imaging for postoperative assessment.

Stainless Steel (316LVM): Available for healthcare systems requiring cost-effective, high-stiffness solutions.

Technical Parameters

Our **Lateral Ankle Fusion Locking Plate** is compatible with standard orthopedic instrument sets. Below are the detailed specifications based on industry standards:

Clinical Indications

This implant is indicated for skeletal fusion in the following conditions:

• Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Severe degeneration of the ankle joint following trauma.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis: Destruction of the joint surface causing pain and instability.
• Failed Total Ankle Arthroplasty: Salvage procedure for failed ankle replacements.
• Charcot Neuroarthropathy: Reconstruction of the collapsed ankle in diabetic patients.
• Avascular Necrosis: Collapse of the talar dome.
