The Metatarsus & wedge arthrodesis Locking Plate is suitable for the fracture surgery of metatarsal fractures.
The Titanium Plate is an 8-hole 60mm length orthopedics plate.It can better fit the anatomy of the metatarsal cuneiform joint and reduce the damage to the surrounding tissue after implantation.
Features and Advantages
1. The edge of the anatomic Titanium Plate is designed with a low profile to reduce soft tissue irritation.
2 .Round hole design is more stable and firm.
3. Locking screws are used for round holes.
4. The trauma screw tapping head is easy to insert.
5. Pure titanium is used as raw material,with high hardness,light weight,wear resistance and good biocompatibility,which can effectively reduce the possibility of complications.
Medical Tips
The first metatarsal bone is shorter and thicker than the other metatarsal bones.It forms part of the longitudinal arch of the medial foot.It lacks ligamentous connection with the second metatarsal bone, so that it can move in isolation.The key of treatment is to achieve anatomic reduction,strong fixation,and restoration of normal foot structure and function.Plates may be used for transverse or minor comminuted fractures,and external fixators may be used for comminuted or open fractures of the shaft.
