Overview
The First MTP Fusion Locking Plate is a specialized orthopedic implant designed for the stabilization and fusion of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint. This plate is ideal for managing hallux rigidus, hallux valgus, or other degenerative joint conditions that require fusion of the first MTP joint to alleviate pain and restore functionality. Crafted from high-strength titanium or stainless steel, the plate ensures superior fixation and anatomical alignment during the healing process, providing long-term stability for the joint. With its locking screw technology, it guarantees angular stability and rigid fixation, making it a trusted solution for first MTP joint fusion.
Key Features
-
Anatomical Design for Optimal Fit:
The First MTP Fusion Locking Plate is contoured to fit the natural curvature of the first metatarsal, providing an anatomical fit that reduces soft tissue irritation and improves the overall alignment of the joint during fusion. -
Locking Screw Technology:
The plate features locking screw holes, allowing for angular stability and providing a rigid fixation to the bone. This locking mechanism ensures the screws remain securely in place, even in osteoporotic bones or under dynamic loads, preventing screw loosening or migration. -
High-Strength Material:
Manufactured from titanium or stainless steel, the plate is biocompatible, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant, ensuring long-term durability and reduced risk of implant failure. -
Minimally Invasive Design:
The design of the First MTP Fusion Locking Plate allows for minimal soft tissue disruption during the surgical procedure, leading to reduced recovery time, less pain, and faster rehabilitation for the patient. -
Radiolucent for Post-Operative Monitoring:
The plate is radiolucent, enabling clear X-rays or CT scans for monitoring the fusion process and ensuring the correct positioning of the plate during healing.
Applications
-
Hallux Rigidus:
Ideal for joint fusion in patients with hallux rigidus, where there is significant joint degeneration and pain, providing long-term relief and improved function. -
Hallux Valgus Deformities:
The plate is commonly used in the surgical treatment of hallux valgus (bunions), offering stable fixation for the fusion of the first MTP joint after correction. -
Arthrodesis for Joint Deformities:
Used in cases where the first MTP joint has been damaged by trauma, disease, or deformities requiring stabilization through fusion. -
Osteoarthritis or Post-Traumatic Arthritis of the MTP Joint:
Effective in stabilizing the MTP joint in patients with advanced arthritis or joint destruction, providing pain relief and improving foot function.
