Description of procedure : revision of ORIF of the medial malleolus
The overall fracture reduction was felt to somewhat difficult secondary to some additional bone growth secondary to the age of the fracture .This was removed sub periosteal fashion .The claw plate was placed .It was able to have appropriate reduction through the medial clear space. Once the overall reduction was felt to be acceptable , a compression screw was then placed across the fracture site and additional screws were then placed
