When used for tibio-talo-calcaneal fusion, the Precice Ankle Salvage System may be used for open and closed fracture fixation, pseudarthrosis, mal-unions, non-unions, or bone transport of long bones adjacent to the fusion site. The device may be used for subsequent limb lengthening once tibio-talo-calcaneal fusion has been achieved.
