  • Design
    • The Gorilla® Ankle Fracture Pilon Plating System includes 26 plates all of which include a transitional thickness to ensure adequate strength at the fracture site and tapering away from the fracture site to limit soft tissue irritation
    • The system includes three plating families: Anterior Distal Tibia Plates, Anterolateral Distal Tibia Plates, and Medial Distal Tibia Plates
    • All plates were designed to allow for adequate strength at and around the fracture site while ensuring the construct is not so rigid to cause stress fractures in the tibia following implantation
  • Placement
    • Distal Tibia
  • Indications
    • The Gorilla® Plating System are indicated for
      • Stabilization and fixation of fractures or osteotomies
      • Intra and extra articular fractures
      • Joint depression
      • Multi-fragmentary fractures
      • Revision procedures
      • Joint fusion and reconstruction of small bones
  • Technical specifications
    • All plates have a transitional thickness with increased thickness where the plate is subjected to the most stress and thinning proximally to limit soft tissue irritation
  • Plates
    • 26 plate offerings
      • 3 Anterior Distal Tibia Plates
      • 16 Anterolateral Distal Tibia Plates
      • 7 Medial Distal Tibia Plates
