Dr. David Kay describes treating chronic ankle instability with three separate surgical steps, each requiring a different company's product. Coordinating three vendors for one case creates logistical headaches, and he advocates for a single-source solution instead.

So a typical patient, chronic ankle instability, and they have a medial talordome defect, and somebody's about to smile. So to fix it, I've got to do a medial malleolar osteotomy, put a little button on the medial side, and fix their lateral ligaments. That's 3 different products, 3 different companies, and 3 basically pains in my ass to arrange. As opposed to saying, oh, that's not that unusual. Why do I have to call up 3 when I can just go to 1?
