Reduction and fixation apparatus for calcaneal fracture

A calcaneal fracture reduction apparatus comprising:

• a reduction portion comprising:
• a reduction targeter for attaching to a lateral wall calcaneal plate;
• a targeting cannula, adapted to provide provisional reduction and final screw placement into multiple calcaneal fraction fragments;
• a posterior tuberosity targeter, for attaching to the reduction targeter, and to a medial column targeting portal;
• wherein the medial column targeting portal is mechanically aligned with a medial column screw capture, so as to allow for the insertion of a medial column reduction screw into the medial column screw capture;
• and
• a fixation portion comprising:
• a lateral wall calcaneal plate;
• a medial column kickstand attached to the lateral wall calcaneal plate, adapted to provide abduction of a medial calcaneal column;
• wherein the medial column screw capture is further adapted to be attached to a distal end of the medial column kickstand, and adapted to provide linkage between the medial column kickstand and a medial column reduction screw;
• and
• wherein the fixation portion is further adapted to provide mechanical linkage between one or more calcaneal fraction fragments, the medial column reduction screw, the medial column kickstand, together with the lateral wall calcaneal plate.
