The Calcaneal Locking Plate provides stable internal fixation for calcaneus fractures. Surgeons use it to restore the natural shape of the heel bone after displaced or comminuted injuries. The plate follows the lateral contour of the calcaneus, so it needs little to no intraoperative bending. As a result, surgical teams position the plate faster and achieve consistent fracture reduction.
Design Features
Anatomical Contour
The plate matches the lateral surface of the calcaneus closely. This fit reduces soft tissue irritation and supports accurate fracture reduction without extensive manual shaping.
Low-Profile Construction
A thin plate body sits close to the bone. Consequently, hardware prominence stays low, and patients experience less postoperative discomfort.
Locking Screw Holes
The plate includes multiple locking holes for 3.5 mm locking screws. These holes create a fixed-angle construct, which adds strength in soft or fragmented bone.
Left/Right-Specific Design
Each plate comes in a left and a right version. Therefore, surgeons get correct anatomical alignment on either foot without extra contouring.
Multiple Size Options
Four plate lengths cover a wide range of patient anatomies, from smaller frames to larger fracture patterns.

Compatible Screws
The Calcaneal Locking Plate pairs with a defined screw system for reliable fixation.
- 3.5 mm Locking Screw — the primary locking screw for fixed-angle stability
- 3.5 mm Cortex Screw — used for standard cortical fixation
- 2.7 mm Cortex Screw — suited to smaller bone fragments
This combination gives surgeons flexibility to combine locking and non-locking fixation within one construct.
Applications
Surgeons choose the Calcaneal Locking Plate for:
- Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures
- Extra-articular calcaneal fractures
- Joint depression and tongue-type fracture patterns
- Comminuted fractures of the calcaneus
- Calcaneal osteotomy procedures
