Jail screw technique. A bit cockeyed this one: using the ML screws to support the single AP screw. Getting hardware into PL defects directly behind the fibular head i find hard. dorsal buttress wont get it. PLC takes away a lot of realestate #orthotwitterhttps://t.co/7zgGKzn4uC pic.twitter.com/MHLoUN7vvc
