The Gorilla® Ankle Fracture Plating System was designed to give the surgeon options including straight fibular, anatomic fibular, medial malleolus, posterior fibula, posterior tibia, lateral hook, straight hook, medial hook plates, and distal tibia plates. All plates are low-profile, with recessed holes that allow for a locking or non-locking screw to be placed, depending on surgeon preference. The recess is built in the hole to accommodate syndesmotic fixation while providing protection against screw head prominence when screws are placed off-axis.

There are 78 plate options in 13 different families. These include:

Anatomic Fibula Plates
Straight Fibula Plates
Medial Malleolus Plate
Posterolateral Fibula Plates
Posterolateral Tibia Plates
Posteromedial Tibia Plates
Trimalleolar Fracture Plates
Lateral Hook Plates
Straight Hook Plates
Medial Hook Plates
Anterior Distal Tibia Plates
Anterolateral Distal Tibia Plates
Medial Distal Tibia Plates

Paragon 28®’s Design Rationale
With posterior plating becoming a more common means of treating distal tibia and fibula fractures over an anterior to posterior approach, Paragon 28® wanted to provide surgeons with a complete offering to address these fractures in the manner they prefer. With our already robust Ankle Fracture Plating System, we now also include a full offering of Posterolateral Fibula, Posterolateral Tibia, Posteromedial Tibia and posterior tibia Trimalleolar Fracture Plates.
