Minimally Invasive Ankle Fusion

The anterior minimally invasive ankle fusion plates are designed for use in conjunction with cannulated compression screws for a “mini open” approach to anterior tibiotalar arthrodesis. Compared to the standard 3-screw fusion construct, the addition of an anterior plate increases construct rigidity and decreases micromotion at the ankle fusion interface.1
