Filed:

Appl. No.:
12/229653
Inventors:
William H. Simon - Virginia Beach VA, US
International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:
Disclosed is a bone fusion or implant, method and system for arthrodesis of a human ankle fusing the distal end of a tibia, talus and/or a calcaneus bone by employing a single anatomically lateral incision to the tibia, fibula, talus and calcaneus region, removing some or all of a fibula in the incision area and attaching the implant to the tibia, talus and/or calcaneus in a generally central area of the ankle. The removed portion of the fibula is morsilized and made into a paste and mixed with an autologous platelet concentrate that is applied as a bone graft to the implant site thereby enhancing the arthrodesis site and enhancing hemostasis.
