STEP Ankle Fracture Plating System

The Response Ortho STEP Ankle Plating System is designed to be a low profile, minimally invasive comprehensive solution available for the treatment of common ankle injuries. A pre-contoured bend supports the anatomy, while the unique, diverging screw geometry of the distal hole cluster allows for maximized fixation at the fracture site. The system is also suitable for use with external fixation to distract the ankle joint.

The plates are designed to be used with both locking and non-locking screws although locking screws provide stronger and more stable fixation. All the plates have compression slots on the shafts for adjusting plate position and fracture compression.

1.6mm average anodized Titanium plate thickness helps minimize soft tissue irritation.
