Product Overview
The Acumed Calcaneal Plating System is designed to deliver a new level of performance, versatility, and reliability for calcaneal fractures. Our Calcaneal Plating System offers a minimally invasive approach that may reduce the potential for wound complications and soft tissue irritation.
Key Features
Plates Specifically for a Sinus Tarsi Approach
- MINI-Calc® Plates offer a variety of plate configurations in a low-profile design and can be utilized through a sinus tarsi approach for minimally invasive treatment.
- Whether comminution is present in the anterior process, through the posterior facet, in the anterior tuberosity, or any combination, multiple plates and sizes are available to treat each of these fracture patterns.
- The MINI-Calc Plates are 1.25 mm thick and are designed to minimize soft tissue irritation.

Case Study: Nondisplaced Calcaneus Fracture
Dr. Jared Salinsky, used the Acumed Calcaneal Plating System to treat a nondisplaced calcaneus fracture in a 54-year-old male who fell from a ladder from a height of approximately four and a half feet. He was immediately seen in the emergency room where he was splinted and told to ice and elevate the foot and ankle. X-rays of his lumbar spine revealed no injury to the vertebrae. Upon his initial visit to the office he was found to have significant swelling and discoloration to the hindfoot. He had appropriate pain and was neurovascularly intact in the foot.
