  4. Why?

  5. Evolution or Intelligent Design? -Toney Russell What is next ….. ???

  6. Problems • Comorbidities

  7. Problems • Compliance

  8. Problems • Osteoporosis

  9. Problems • Short segments

  10. Locking Plates Are very powerful!

  11. Locking Plates Enhance fixation

  12. Locking Plates Come at a cost

  13. Locking Plates Come at a cost $$

  14. Locking Plates Come at a cost Biologic

  15. Locking Plates Come at a cost Biologic

  16. Low Profile Implants

  17. Low Profile Implants?

  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

  31. Thank You
