Malleolar Reposition Fcps 21cm

Clinical Application

Designed for orthopedic and trauma procedures involving the distal tibia and fibula, this reduction forceps is intended to assist in repositioning and temporarily stabilizing malleolar fragments during open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) or percutaneous reduction of ankle fractures. The instrument provides controlled compression and alignment while surgeons place guidewires, screws, or plates, and is useful in both hospital and ambulatory surgery settings performing ankle trauma and reconstructive procedures.

Design & Configuration

The 21 cm length balances working reach and tactile control for procedures around the ankle where working space is limited. A reduction-style jaw geometry concentrates holding force at the contact points to secure small bony fragments without excessive bulk, improving access for screw and plate application. The hand-held design facilitates fine adjustments and manual leverage during reduction maneuvers, enabling the assistant or primary surgeon to maintain alignment throughout fixation steps.
