Indication : Patient with ankle fracture she underwent ORIF she returned 4 weeks and her hardware was noted to have failure with backing out of screws and gapping of fracture site
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
