Calcanea® - Surgical Technique
Previous | Next Next
  • At this point, the Calcanea® plate is used
  • The size that best fits the calcaneal anatomy is chosen: size small, medium or large
  • Each plate is anatomical and suitable for either left or right side

  • The Calcanea® plate is then positioned at the appropriate location on the lateral calcaneal wall
  • If necessary the Calcanea® plate can be moulded and contoured to the lateral aspect of the anterior process, the posterior facet and to the tuberosity
  • The upper part of the posterior and anterior borders can sometimes be cut off, or be bent for a dorso-plantar screw fixation
  • Plate benders (2 x 129139ND) should be used for this bending procedure
