A locking rod fusion device and method uses internal locking rods and screws that will lock together. In particular, the device allows the insertion of multiple locking rods in combination with a plate, which requires less dissection and disruption of soft tissues and vasculature. The device also provides a more stable internal construct for fusions that prevent non-unions, hardware failure and reoccurrence of deformities, such as Charcot foot. The device combines the strength of locking technology and the utility and ease of an internal rod system to provide a single stable construct in multiple planes as apposed to using multiple plates or screws separately.
