Leg pin inserted in to planned mid tib/fib fracture point. |
Tib/fib carefully fractured immediately distal to pin at mid point. |
Tib/fib rotated into position and pin fully inserted past fracture point. |
Proximal alignment pin screwed in. |
All pin external lengths bent to 90 degree angle. |
 Alignment
pin external lengths cut so that ends contact each other. |
 Epoxy
putty is used to bond alignment pin external lengths to each other |
Putty is first kneaded to mix epoxy and hardener and then molded over pin external lengths bonding them together to stabilize tib/fib realignment. |
 Another

Orange lines indicate location of pin lengths encased by the putty. |
