MEDIAL COLUMN FUSION PLATES

摘要

A medial column bone plate, comprises a first portion which, when the plate is positioned along a medial column of a foot in a desired position, extends along a navicular, the first portion including at least two first variable angle holes extending therethrough, each of the first variable angle holes configured to receive a bone fixation element therethrough at a user-selected angle relative to a central axis thereof and a second portion extending distally from the first portion so that when the plate is in the desired position, the second portion extends along a medial cuneiform, the second portion including at least one second variable angle hole configured to receive a bone fixation element therein at a user-selected angle relative to a central axis thereof and a first compression slot extending therethrough in combination with a third portion extending distally from the second portion so that the third portion extends along a first metatarsal of the medial column in the desired position, the third portion including a third variable angle hole configured to receive a bone fixation element therein at a user-selected angle relative to a central axis thereof and a second compression slot extending therethrough.
