Abstract
A surgical implant for use in subtalar joint motion limitation and having a semi-pliable body and a generally L- or J-shaped plate attached thereto. The plate may be in one or two pieces. A bar is formed on the end of the plate distal the semi-pliable body. A plurality of bores extend through the plate and bar to allow for the attachment of the implant to a subtalar joint bone.
