LCP Anterior Ankle Arthrodesis
Ankle arthrodesis The LCP anterior ankle arthrodesis is indicated for arthrodesis of the ankle joint and distal tibia via an anterior approach. It is especially useful if a previous extensile approach was made for ORIF, making subsequent adjacent incision ill advised.
The plates are precontoured, have combination holes in the plate shaft and are available in 6-hole (100 mm) or 7-hole (116 mm) lengths. All holes accept 4.5 mm cortex, 4.5 mm shaft screws and 6.5 mm cancellous bone screws. The locking holes accept 4.0 mm solid, 5.0 mm solid or 5.0 mm cannulated locking screws. Two distal elongated DCU holes allow for greater screw angulation and better bone purchase. A proximal notch accepts the articulated tension device (to allow compression or distraction).
The plate is available in 316L implant quality stainless steel or commercially pure (CP4) titanium.
