“The Stratum Ankle Fusion System is a comprehensive system of anatomical plates to provide surgeons anterior, lateral and posterior fusion options. The design team has done an outstanding job identifying the obstacles that plague current ankle fusion cases and developing innovative solutions to meet those unmet needs,” said Adam Finley, Director of Product Development for Nextremity Solutions.
The Stratum Ankle Fusion Plating System is just one more addition to the Stratum brand of plating systems for the foot and ankle.

This is a really comprehensive system and incorporates the unique on-plate compression that Stratum is known for. We look forward to continuing to expand the Stratum brand and meet the needs of our surgeon partners.”
