The proximal metatarsus anatomic Locking Plate is used for fixation of proximal metatarsal fracture.
The specifications of the proximal metatarsus anatomic Locking Plates were 3 holes (38.6mm), 4 holes (45.1mm), 5 holes (51.6mm), 6 holes (58.1mm), 7 holes (64.6mm), and 8 holes (71.1mm).
Advantages
The proximal metatarsal Anatomic Titanium Plate internal fixation can make the fracture ends close contact,effectively prevent rotation,and fix firmly.When the tendon slides on the smooth bone plate,it is not easy to cause adhesion.After operation,the suture can be removed and the plaster support can be removed for movement,which can ensure the function of the joint.Although the proximal metatarsal anatomical implant locking plate internal fixation for the treatment of metatarsal shaft fracture may increase the chance of infection, aggravate the periosteal injury,and slow the fracture healing, but as long as the operation is careful,reduce the periosteal stripping,thorough disinfection,standardized draping,skilled operation,and reduce the operation time,it can reduce the chance of infection and the destruction of blood supply at the fracture end,and promote the early healing of fracture.
Medical tips
Metatarsal bone belong to the long bones, a total of 5 pieces, from the medial to the lateral are the 1-5 metatarsal bones. The proximal metatarsal is the base, the middle is the body, and the distal end is the head. The metatarsal base forms the tarsometatarsal joint with the front of the cuneiform or cuboid, respectively. The tarsal bones, metatarsal bones, and plantar ligaments and tendons together form the convex upward foot arch, which is an important device when the human body is upright, walking, and weight-bearing. If the foot arch collapsed, it would form a flat foot. The metatarsal head forms the metatarsophalangeal joint with the corresponding proximal phalanx.
