2.Hollow Cuboid Osteotomy Plate Features


A hollow cuboid osteotomy plate is a specialized orthopedic implant used in foot surgery, particularly for procedures like cuboid osteotomies, which involve cutting and realigning the metatarsal. These plates offer several features designed to enhance surgical outcomes and patient recovery. Key features include:


1. Hollow Design

  • The plate typically has a hollow or fenestrated design, allowing bone graft material to be placed inside or around the plate. This promotes bone healing and integration.


2. Anatomic Contouring

  • The plate is pre-contoured to match the anatomy of the metatarsal, reducing the need for intraoperative bending and ensuring a better fit to the bone.


3. Low-Profile

  • The plate has a low-profile design to minimize irritation to the surrounding soft tissues and reduce the risk of complications like hardware prominence.


4. Multiple Fixation Points

  • The plate offers multiple screw holes for fixation, which allows for secure attachment to the bone and provides stability to the osteotomy site.


5. Locking and Non-Locking Screws

  • It can accommodate both locking and non-locking screws, providing versatility in fixation and enabling surgeons to adjust according to the patient's needs.


6. Radiolucency

  • Some plates are made from materials that are radiolucent (e.g., PEEK or carbon fiber), allowing for clear imaging during follow-up without interference from the plate.


7. Material

  • The plate is typically made from biocompatible materials such as titanium or stainless steel, which are strong, durable, and resistant to corrosion.


8. Guided Osteotomy

  • Some designs feature slots or guides to assist surgeons in performing precise cuts and achieving the desired correction angle during the osteotomy.


These features help in achieving stable fixation, promoting bone healing, and minimizing complications, which are crucial for successful outcomes in cuboid osteotomy procedures.


3.Hollow Cuboid Osteotomy Plate Indications


The Hollow Cuboid Osteotomy Plate is indicated for use in surgical procedures involving the cuboid bone of the foot. This plate is designed to provide stabilization and support following an osteotomy, which is a surgical procedure to cut and realign the bone. The specific indications for using a Hollow Cuboid Osteotomy Plate include:

1. Cuboid Bone Deformities

  • Flatfoot (Pes Planus): In cases where the cuboid bone requires realignment or repositioning to correct deformities associated with flatfoot, the plate helps stabilize the bone after it has been repositioned.

  • Cavus Foot (High-Arched Foot): To correct deformities in the cuboid bone as part of a broader surgical correction of a high-arched foot.


2. Fractures of the Cuboid Bone

  • Acute Fractures: Stabilization of the cuboid bone following fractures, especially in cases where conservative treatment is insufficient.

  • Comminuted Fractures: Where the bone is shattered into multiple pieces, the plate helps hold the fragments together for proper healing.


3. Charcot Foot

  • Neuroarthropathy (Charcot Foot): In patients with Charcot foot, the cuboid bone may become weakened or deformed. The plate is used to stabilize the bone during reconstructive surgery to prevent further collapse or deformity.


4. Reconstructive Surgery

  • Midfoot Reconstructive Procedures: The plate is often used as part of complex reconstructive surgeries in the midfoot, where the cuboid bone requires repositioning or lengthening to restore proper foot function and alignment.


5. Cuboid Shortening or Lengthening

  • Osteotomy for Length Discrepancies: The plate is used when the cuboid bone needs to be shortened or lengthened to correct foot alignment or to balance the length of the lateral column of the foot.


6. Corrective Surgery for Lateral Column Instability

  • Lateral Column Instability: When there is instability in the lateral column of the foot (which includes the cuboid bone), the plate is used to provide structural support and stabilize the cuboid after corrective osteotomy.


7. Treatment of Severe Arthritis

  • Arthritis of the Cuboid Joint: For patients with severe arthritis affecting the cuboid joint, an osteotomy with plate fixation may be necessary to realign the bone and reduce pain.


8. Nonunion or Malunion of Previous Cuboid Fractures

  • Failed Previous Treatments: If a previous fracture of the cuboid bone has not healed properly (nonunion or malunion), the plate may be used in a revision surgery to correct the bone alignment and promote proper healing.


9. Bone Grafting Procedures

  • Bone Defects: In cases where there is a bone defect or gap following osteotomy or trauma, the hollow design of the plate can accommodate bone grafts, facilitating bone regeneration and healing.


10. Corrective Surgery Following Trauma

  • Post-Traumatic Deformities: After traumatic injuries to the cuboid bone that result in deformities or instability, the plate is used to reconstruct and stabilize the bone.

These indications highlight the versatility and importance of the Hollow Cuboid Osteotomy Plate in managing complex foot conditions, particularly those involving the cuboid bone. The plate provides crucial stabilization, supports bone healing, and helps restore proper foot mechanics following surgery.

7.Hollow Cuboid Osteotomy Plate FAQ

1. What is a Hollow Cuboid Osteotomy Plate?

A Hollow Cuboid Osteotomy Plate is a specialized orthopedic implant used to stabilize and support the cuboid bone in the foot after an osteotomy—a surgical procedure where the bone is cut to correct deformities or realign the bone structure. The "hollow" design typically refers to a central gap or reduced material in the plate, which may facilitate bone healing or accommodate specific surgical techniques.


2. What conditions are treated with a Hollow Cuboid Osteotomy Plate?

The plate is commonly used in the treatment of:

  • Cuboid Bone Deformities: Such as those associated with flatfoot (pes planus) or cavus foot (high-arched foot).

  • Cuboid Fractures: Including both acute and comminuted (shattered) fractures.

  • Charcot Foot: To stabilize the cuboid bone in cases of neuroarthropathy (Charcot foot).

  • Lateral Column Instability: To correct and stabilize the lateral column of the foot.

  • Post-Traumatic Deformities: Following trauma that results in cuboid bone deformities or instability.


3. What are the benefits of the "hollow" design in the plate?

  • Reduced Weight: The hollow design decreases the overall weight of the plate, making it less intrusive for the patient.

  • Bone Healing: The hollow or fenestrated areas can allow for bone grafting or natural bone growth, promoting faster and more effective healing.

  • Flexibility in Surgery: The hollow design can provide more flexibility in fitting the plate to the cuboid bone, accommodating different surgical techniques.


4. What materials are used to make a Hollow Cuboid Osteotomy Plate?

The plate is usually made from biocompatible materials, including:

  • Titanium: Known for its high strength, light weight, and biocompatibility.

  • Stainless Steel: Valued for its durability and resistance to corrosion.


5. How is the Hollow Cuboid Osteotomy Plate used during surgery?

During surgery, the cuboid bone is cut (osteotomy) to correct alignment or length. The plate is then attached to the bone with screws to hold the segments in place while they heal. The hollow design may allow for the placement of bone grafts or natural bone growth through the plate, enhancing the healing process.


6. What are the potential risks or complications associated with using this plate?

Potential risks include:

  • Infection: Risk of infection at the surgical site.

  • Nonunion or Malunion: The possibility of the bone not healing properly or healing in an incorrect position.

  • Hardware Irritation: The plate or screws could irritate surrounding tissues.

  • Screw Loosening or Breakage: Though uncommon, screws may loosen or break over time.


7. Is the Hollow Cuboid Osteotomy Plate permanent?

Yes, the plate is generally intended to remain in place permanently. However, if it causes discomfort or other complications after the bone has healed, it can be removed in a follow-up surgery.


8. How long is the recovery time after surgery with this plate?

Recovery time varies depending on the specific procedure and the patient’s condition, but typically, patients need to avoid weight-bearing activities for 6-12 weeks. Full recovery, including a return to normal activities, may take several months, often with the help of physical therapy.


9. Will the plate interfere with metal detectors or MRI scans?

The plate may set off metal detectors at security checkpoints. However, most modern implants, including those made of titanium, are MRI-compatible, meaning they should not interfere with MRI scans. It is important to inform medical personnel about any implants before undergoing imaging procedures.


10. Can the plate be felt under the skin?

Due to its low-profile design, the plate is usually not noticeable under the skin. However, in patients with thin or minimal soft tissue coverage, it may be more palpable.


11. What are the alternatives to using a Hollow Cuboid Osteotomy Plate?

Alternatives may include:

  • Non-Surgical Treatments: Depending on the condition, conservative treatments like orthotics or physical therapy might be considered.

  • Other Surgical Implants: Different types of plates, screws, or pins may be used based on the specific needs of the patient and the nature of the surgery.


12. How does the hollow design affect bone healing?

The hollow or fenestrated design can facilitate bone grafting and may promote natural bone growth through the plate, which can lead to a stronger and faster healing process.


13. What should I expect during the recovery period?

During recovery, you will likely need to keep weight off the foot for a certain period, use crutches or a walker, and possibly wear a protective boot. Follow-up appointments will be necessary to monitor the healing process, and physical therapy may be recommended to restore strength and mobility.
