Procedure: Pilon Fracture

Primary Pilon Fusion Plates are designed with a distal row of screw holes which accept either 3.5 mm or 4.0 mm polyaxial locking screws. An additional larger hole accommodates either a single 4.5 or 5.5 mm locking screw. The plate is designed for patients with severely comminuted distal tibia fractures with intra-articular involvement where primary arthrodesis of the tibiotalar joint is indicated. These plates feature a long anterolateral proximal shaft to span comminution up through the metadiaphyseal region.
