1. An internal fixation device for use in fixation of a metatarsocuneiform joint, the fixation device comprising:
a fixation plate contoured relative to intersecting x, y and z axes extending perpendicular to each other, the fixation plate having a U-shape when viewed in an xy plane defined by the x and y axes and including an upper surface, a lower surface and a plantar section having opposite proximal and distal ends extending along the x axis with the y axis extending transversely to and bisecting the plantar section, the plantar section interconnecting a pair of opposed medial legs which are bent relative to the plantar section and extend from the opposite proximal and distal ends of the plantar section with respect to the y and z axes, wherein the plantar section is formed therethrough with a set of threaded fixation holes, and wherein each of the legs is formed therethrough with a set of threaded and non-threaded fixation holes spaced further away from the y axis than the threaded fixation holes in the plantar section. |
