A hollow calcaneus osteotomy plate is a specialized orthopedic implant used in foot surgery, particularly for procedures like calcaneal osteotomies, which involve cutting and realigning the heel bone (calcaneus). These plates offer several features designed to enhance surgical outcomes and patient recovery. Key features include:
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.
The plate is pre-contoured to match the anatomy of the calcaneus, reducing the need for intraoperative bending and ensuring a better fit to the bone.
The plate has a low-profile design to minimize irritation to the surrounding soft tissues and reduce the risk of complications like hardware prominence.
The plate offers multiple screw holes for fixation, which allows for secure attachment to the bone and provides stability to the osteotomy site.
It can accommodate both locking and non-locking screws, providing versatility in fixation and enabling surgeons to adjust according to the patient's needs.
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.
The plate is typically made from biocompatible materials such as titanium or stainless steel, which are strong, durable, and resistant to corrosion.
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 calcaneal osteotomy procedures.
A hollow calcaneus osteotomy plate is indicated for various conditions and surgical procedures involving the calcaneus (heel bone). Here are some common indications:
Heel Valgus/Varus Deformities: When the heel bone is misaligned, causing abnormal foot posture or gait.
Flatfoot (Pes Planus) or High Arched Foot (Pes Cavus): To correct structural deformities that affect foot function.
Post-Traumatic Deformities: To address deformities resulting from previous fractures or injuries to the calcaneus.
Post-Surgical Corrections: For realigning the heel bone after prior surgeries that did not achieve the desired outcome.
Chronic Tendonitis or Tendon Ruptures: When surgery is needed to correct alignment issues related to chronic Achilles tendon problems.
Calcaneal Osteotomy: For realigning the heel bone to improve foot function or to correct alignment issues.
Functional Problems: To address issues with walking or running caused by misalignment of the calcaneus.
Foot Deformities Present from Birth: To correct congenital abnormalities of the heel bone.
Arthritis in the Calcaneus: When deformities or misalignments due to arthritis need surgical correction.
Bone Graft Support: The hollow design allows for the incorporation of bone graft material, which can be used to enhance bone healing in cases where bone regeneration is necessary.
The choice to use a hollow calcaneus osteotomy plate depends on the specific clinical scenario and the surgeon’s assessment of the patient’s needs and anatomy.

A hollow calcaneus osteotomy plate is a specialized orthopedic implant used in foot surgeries, particularly calcaneal osteotomies. These plates help stabilize the heel bone (calcaneus) after it has been cut and realigned to correct deformities or other conditions.
The hollow design allows for bone graft material to be placed within or around the plate, which can promote bone healing and integration. The plate's design also provides stability, reduces the risk of soft tissue irritation, and may allow for better imaging post-surgery due to potential radiolucency.
These plates are typically used in cases of calcaneal deformities, such as heel valgus or varus deformities, flatfoot, high arches, post-traumatic deformities, and congenital foot conditions. They may also be indicated for reconstructive surgery, gait abnormalities, and certain arthritic conditions.
The plate is attached to the calcaneus using screws. It usually features multiple fixation points, accommodating both locking and non-locking screws, to ensure secure attachment and stability at the osteotomy site.
The plate can be left in permanently if it does not cause any discomfort or complications. However, if the plate causes irritation or if the bone has healed sufficiently, it may be removed in a subsequent surgery, typically several months after the initial procedure.
Hollow calcaneus osteotomy plates are usually made from biocompatible materials such as titanium or stainless steel, which are durable, resistant to corrosion, and safe for long-term implantation. Some plates may also be made from radiolucent materials like PEEK or carbon fiber.
While generally safe, potential risks include infection, irritation of surrounding tissues, hardware failure, non-union or delayed healing of the bone, and the need for additional surgery to remove the plate.
Recovery time varies depending on the individual case and the extent of the surgery. Generally, patients may need to be non-weight bearing for several weeks, followed by gradual reintroduction of weight-bearing activities. Full recovery and return to normal activities can take several months.
Plates made from radiolucent materials do not interfere with imaging studies, making it easier to monitor bone healing. Metal plates may cause some imaging artifacts, but this usually does not significantly impact the ability to assess the surgical site.
Pain is managed with a combination of medications, including pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs. The surgical team will also provide guidelines for rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) to help reduce pain and swelling postoperatively.
Your orthopedic surgeon will evaluate your specific condition, symptoms, and medical history to determine if a calcaneus osteotomy with a hollow plate is appropriate for you. Imaging studies like X-rays or MRIs may be used to assess the deformity or condition of your heel bone.
