  18. Low Profile Implants?

  19. When Do I Use Locking Plates for Fibula Fractures?

  20. Bread and Butter • SER 4

  21. 1/3 Tubular Lag & Neutralization Plate • Low profile • Inexpensive • Proven

  22. 1/3 Tubular Lag & Neutralization Plate • Low profile • Inexpensive • Proven • 70%

  23. SER: Locking Plate • Very low fractures • Osteopenic bone

  24. SER: Locking Plate • Very low fractures • Osteopenic bone

  25. Pronation Abduction (PAB) • Comminution • Length unstable • Could have short segments

  26. PAB

  27. PAB

  28. Weber C (PER) • Short segment • Poor bone

  29. In Conclusion • Technology advances • Locked plates are powerful • Expensive • Soft tissue concern

  30. In Conclusion • Short segments • Poor bone quality • Use judiciously
