A hollow metatarsal osteotomy plate is a specialized orthopedic implant used in foot surgery, particularly for procedures like metatarsal osteotomies, which involve cutting and realigning the metatarsal. 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 metatarsal, 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 metatarsal osteotomy procedures.
A hollow metatarsal osteotomy plate is used in orthopedic surgery for various indications related to the first metatarsal-cuneiform joint. Some common indications include:
1.Hallux Valgus (Bunion) Correction:
This plate is often used in surgical procedures to correct hallux valgus, a deformity where the big toe deviates towards the other toes, causing a prominent "bunion" at the base of the toe.
2.A hollow metatarsal osteotomy plate: This involves fusion of the first metatarsal-cuneiform joint, commonly performed in cases of severe deformity, arthritis, or instability. It's often part of the Lapidus procedure, is applied to medium and severe midfoot Hallux limitus corrective osteotomies.
3.Osteoarthritis: When osteoarthritis affects the first metatarsal-cuneiform joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, the plate can be used for joint fusion or stabilization to alleviate symptoms.
4.Trauma or Fractures: The plate is indicated for the fixation of fractures or dislocations involving the first metatarsal-cuneiform joint. This can include both acute traumatic injuries and stress fractures.
5.Recurrent Hallux Valgus: In cases where previous bunion surgery has failed, leading to a recurrence of the deformity, the medial plate can be used to achieve a more stable and lasting correction.
6.Joint Instability: When there is significant instability at the first metatarsal-cuneiform joint, whether due to congenital issues, degenerative changes, or trauma, the plate can help stabilize the joint.
7.Metatarsus Primus Varus: This condition involves an abnormal angle between the first and second metatarsal bones, often associated with hallux valgus. The plate can be used to correct the alignment of the first metatarsal.
8.Rheumatoid Arthritis: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis may experience joint destruction and deformity at the first metatarsal-cuneiform joint, necessitating surgical intervention using a medial plate for fusion or stabilization.
These indications make the hollow metatarsal osteotomy plate a versatile tool in foot and ankle surgery, particularly in addressing deformities, instability, and joint degeneration at the first metatarsal-cuneiform joint.

The First Metatarsal Cuneiform Joint Medial Plate is an orthopedic implant designed to provide stability and support to the first metatarsal-cuneiform joint during surgical procedures. It is often used in corrective surgeries for foot deformities, trauma, or joint instability.
This plate is most commonly used in:
Hallux Valgus (bunion) correction surgeries, particularly in the Lapidus procedure.
Arthrodesis (joint fusion) of the first metatarsal-cuneiform joint.
Fixation of fractures or dislocations in the first metatarsal-cuneiform area.
Revision surgeries for recurrent hallux valgus.
The plate is preferred for hallux valgus correction because it offers robust stabilization of the first metatarsal-cuneiform joint, which is crucial for correcting the underlying deformity and preventing recurrence. Its anatomical design and locking screw options provide a secure fixation, improving the overall outcome of the surgery.
The plate is typically made from biocompatible materials like titanium or stainless steel. These materials are chosen for their strength, durability, and low risk of causing an adverse reaction within the body.
While the plate is usually pre-contoured to match the anatomy of the first metatarsal-cuneiform joint, it may be slightly adjusted or bent by the surgeon during the procedure to ensure an optimal fit.
As with any surgical implant, potential risks include:
Infection at the surgical site
Nonunion or delayed union (where the bones do not fuse properly)
Irritation or discomfort due to the presence of the plate
Screw loosening or plate breakage (though rare with modern materials)
Allergic reactions to the metal (extremely rare)
The plate is typically intended to be a permanent fixture within the body. However, in some cases, if the plate causes discomfort or other issues, it may be removed after the bones have fully healed.
Recovery time can vary depending on the specific surgery and the patient's overall health. Generally, patients may need to avoid weight-bearing activities for several weeks to months after surgery. Full recovery, including a return to normal activities, can take several months.
The plate is designed with a low-profile to minimize the chance of it being felt or seen under the skin. However, in some patients, particularly those with less soft tissue coverage, it may be more noticeable.
The plate may set off metal detectors at airports or other security checkpoints. However, most modern implants are MRI-compatible, meaning they do not interfere with MRI scans, but it's always advisable to inform medical personnel about the presence of any metal implants.
