This surgical technique applies to 7,0ChLP locked plating system used for ankle joint arthrodesis. The plates are a part of the ChLP locked plating system developed by ChM. The presented range of implants is made of materials in accordance with ISO 5832 standards.
The system includes:
• implants (plates and screws),
• instrument set used in the surgery,
• surgical technique.
Plate selection and shaping
Various available options ensure the possibilty of choosing an implant appropriate for clinical case and surgeon's preference. Implants were designed in order to ensure proper alignment with skeletal anatomy and reduce implant profiling in the operating room. Profiling of the shaft region of the plate in accordance with intructions given in the IFU is allowed. Profiling of the plates is not allowed when used with targeter.
Design aligned with anatomy
• optimized anatomical profile
• fit to a wide range of anatomies
Multiple plate options
• the system offers 6 types of plates:
-lateralTT-Tibiotalar andTTC-Tibiotalocalcaneal plates
-anterolateral TT plates
- posterior TT and TTC plates
-anterior minimally invasive TT plates
• different lengths
Chamfered plate borders
• minimized soft-tissue irritation
• improved stress distribution
Bottom undercuts of the shaft part
• limited bone-to-plate contact
• better blood circulation of periimplant tissues
Beveled tip
• easy percutaneous insertion
Anatomically directed distal screws
• pre-defined direction for stable immobilization of fused bones
• collision-free insertion
• divergent to improve plate and fixation stability
