Summary:The present invention is a fully contoured calcaneal plate having substantially no planar surfaces except at the origin. The contoured plate includes radiused sections, one extending inferior to superior is curved inferior to superior in a shape which is close to cylindrical and which approximates the shape of the cuboid bone. The second radiused section is curved in the vicinity of the anterior strut, and in particular at the inferior portion of the plate, to accommodate the peroneal tubercle. The plate has a rectangular or modified ovoid body section and a dog boned shaped tail with triangular placed holes for fixation. L'invention concerne une plaque calcanéenne entièrement profilée, sensiblement exempte de surfaces planaires, exceptée lors d'une étape initiale. La plaque profilée comprend des sections arrondies. La première section arrondie, qui s'étend du bas vers le haut, est courbe du bas vers le haut selon une forme quasi-cylindrique s'apparentant à celle du cuboïde. La seconde section arrondie est courbe à proximité de l'entretoise antérieure, particulièrement sur la partie inférieure de la plaque, pour loger le tubercule péronier. De plus, la plaque présente une coupe rectangulaire ou ovoïde modifiée ainsi qu'une extrémité en forme de bobine percée de trous de fixation triangulaires.
