Mark Myerson, MD, Gorilla® SMO design surgeon, said, "Paragon28 has introduced an outstanding and precise supramalleolar osteotomy plating system. It is extremely accurate, enabling the surgeon to obtain optimal correction with cutting and drill guides and a truly unique and ingenious way to cut a PRESERVE™ Allograft Wedge for an opening wedge osteotomy."
