Foot arthrodesis plate FLTGV0

non-lockingmetallic

The Footmotion Plating System is intended for arthrodeses, fractures and osteotomies fixation and revision surgeries of the foot in adults. > Example of application: osteoarthritis, functional deformities. Anatomical implant • The design of this implant is the result of a proprietary state-of-the-art mapping technology to establish the maximum congruence between the plate and the bone, • The plate is made of Grade 2 Titanium for an easier adaptation to first tarsometatarsal (TMT1) joint anatomies when using bending pliers. Plantar positioning of the plate • Offers stable assembly and generates dynamic compression (see diagram to the right), the transfixation screw is inserted through the joint providing stability to the assembly. Fixation Ø3.5 mm single diameter: • 2 oblong holes: Ø3.5 mm non locking screw: - Distal oblong hole: screw angulation up to 35°, - Oblong holes positioning allows to avoid conflicts between scr ews. • 2 or 3 locking holes: Ø3.5 mm locking screw. Hexalobular screw recess. Plate bending The plates of the Footmotion Plating System can be bent using the appropriate bending pliers (ANC578) with the following instructions: Bending is only possible in the areas intended for this purpose, A bendable area must be bent only once and in one direction, Bending must not be performed excessively, The holes must be protected to avoid damaging the fixation.
