The definitive stabilization began with the fixation of cannulated screws with
partial thread 7.0 with a lag function. One screw was from the posterior region
of the calcaneus to the body of the talus, and another was from the
posterolateral region of the tibia to the anteromedial talus. Another option was
using a single 7.0-mm screw entering the posterior and plantar region of the
calcaneus toward the anterior tibia, compressing both joints.
We placed a plate on the lateral side for the neutralization function. The plate
used was a 4.5-mm locking compression plate of the proximal humerus put in
reverse. There were 3 bicortical screws in the tibia and 4 distributed between
the calcaneus and talus (Figure 2).
