How Does an Ankle Fusion Locking Plate Work?

An Ankle Fusion Locking Plate is an orthopedic implant used to promote the fusion of the ankle joint. It is surgically placed over the ankle joint and secured with locking screws. The plate provides a stable framework that encourages bone growth and union across the joint. Over time, the bone will fuse together around the plate, creating a solid, immobile joint. The locking screws prevent the plate from shifting, ensuring optimal conditions for bone healing and long-term stability.
