•
Infection or pathologic conditions of bone such as osteopenia which would impair the ability
to securely fix the device.
•
Patients with Gustilo-Anderson open fracture Classification Grade IIIB or IIIC fractures
•
Metal allergies and sensitivities.
•
For the femur, patients whose distance from the skin surface to the Precice Plate is greater
than 38mm. For the tibia, patients whose distance from the skin surface to the Precice Plate is
greater than 20mm.
•
Patients with an irregular bone shape/size that would prevent placement of the Precice Plate.
•
Patients whose condition tend to retard healing such as blood supply limitations, peripheral
vascular disease or evidence of inadequate vascularity.
•
Patients unwilling or incapable of following postoperative care instructions.
Contraindications for the Precice Ankle Salvage System:

Patients with an insufficient plantar pad.
•
Patients having an intact asymptomatic subtalar joint.
•
Patients with Gustilo open fracture Classification Grade IIIB or IIIC fractures.
•
Metal allergies and sensitivities.
•
Patients with an irregular bone diameter that would prevent insertion of the Precice Ankle
Salvage nail.
•
Patients in which there is an obliterated medullary canal or other conditions that tend to
retard healing such as blood supply limitations, severe peripheral vascular disease or
evidence of inadequate vascularity.
•
Patients with severe longitudinal deformity
•
Patients with significant tibial malalignment (>10 degrees in either sagittal or coronal plane)
