An ExtremiFix™ 5.5 mm partially threaded cannulated screw can be used in the Lateral Fusion Plate for tibiotalar compression through the 5.5 mm anatomic transfixation hole. The OsteoMed ExtremiLock Ankle Plating System is intended for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, and nonunions of the tibia and fibula as well as arthrodesis of the ankle including the tibiotalar and tibiotalocalcaneal joint.
