Abstract
Apparatus and method for securely fixating an anterior portion of a calcaneus to a reduced posterior facet portion of the calcaneus, using a plate that may allow for stable fixation between the anterior calcaneus, the reconstructed posterior facet, and the posterior tuberosity, and a barrel that may be rotated into the best position to allow posterior screws to enter the best quality bone in the posterior tuberosity. The appropriate height may be set by rotating a push screw, thereby engaging the barrel, and pushing the posterior tuberosity distally.
