Ankle Fusion Using a Lateral Tibiotalar Arthrodesis Plate

Kaitlin C. Neary, MD, (Boise, ID) describes the advantages of a lateral approach for difficult tibiotalar (TT) fusions using the lateral TT arthrodesis plate from the Ankle Fusion Plating System. The lateral plate provides 4 points of divergent fixation in the talus as well as multiple options for compression of the joint through the plate.
