The scaphoid Locking Plate was 45.6mm in length,which conformed to the anatomical structure of the scaphoid of the foot.
This 2.7mm calcaneus locking plate shortened the internal fixation surgery time, and was more conducive to the patient to resume normal walking after open reduction.
Medical tips
The scaphoid of the foot is navicular and lies between the talar head and the 3 cuneiform bones. Convex anteriorly, articulates with 3 cuneiform bones, concave posteriorly, articulates with the talar head. There is an unconstant facet articular surface on the lateral surface, sometimes articulatory to the cuboid bone.
The types of scaphoid fractures mainly include cortical avulsion fracture, scaphoid tuberosity fracture, body fracture and stress fracture. Conservative treatment is the main treatment. Because the blood supply of the scaphoid is relatively thin, it is not suitable to take the way of incision and exposure, which can avoid the occurrence of various sequelae, such as avascular necrosis and nonunion of the fracture. For those large scaphoid fractures with obvious displacement, open reduction can be used to treat them, so that the articular surface of the surrounding joints can be anatomically restored, and the stability and length of the medial column of the foot can be effectively restored and maintained. In the process of orthopedic implant surgery treatment, it is necessary to make corresponding corrections based on different injury conditions. With the help of bone grafting and other methods, it is necessary to restore the height of the scaphoid and the weight-bearing axis of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot, scientifically correct the varus and valgus deformities of the first and second metatarsal bones, reshape the biomechanical structure of the foot, and prevent serious sequelae. Such as pain, deformity, dysfunction, etc.
