1.Metatarsal Cuneiform Joint Dorsal Plate Specifications


Product Code Specification
70806-004 4Holes


2.Metatarsal Cuneiform Joint Dorsal Plate Features


Metatarsal Cuneiform Joint Dorsal Plate is an orthopedic device used in foot surgeries, particularly for stabilizing and correcting deformities or injuries involving the first metatarsal-cuneiform joint. Here are some key features:


1.Anatomical Design:

The plate is usually contoured to match the anatomy of the first metatarsal-cuneiform joint, ensuring a better fit and reducing the need for intraoperative bending or shaping.


2.Multiple Screw Holes:

 It typically has multiple screw holes to allow for various fixation options. This can include locking, non-locking, and hybrid screw configurations, enhancing stability and flexibility in different surgical scenarios.


3.Low Profile

The plate is often designed with a low profile to minimize soft tissue irritation post-surgery, which can reduce discomfort for the patient and promote faster recovery.


4.Material

Made from biocompatible materials such as titanium or stainless steel, the plate is durable and minimizes the risk of adverse reactions in the body.


5.Locking Mechanism:

 Some plates feature locking screw technology, which provides rigid fixation, particularly useful in osteoporotic bone where traditional screw fixation might be less reliable.


6.Pre-contoured Shape

The plate is generally pre-contoured to the typical anatomy of the metatarsal-cuneiform area, reducing surgical time and enhancing the precision of the procedure.


7.Tapered Edges:

 To minimize irritation to the surrounding soft tissue, the edges of the plate are usually tapered.


8.Radiolucency Markings

Some plates may have radiolucent markings that help in verifying the placement and orientation during imaging without interfering with the clarity of X-rays.


These features contribute to the plate's effectiveness in procedures such as arthrodesis (joint fusion), fracture fixation, or correction of hallux valgus (bunion) deformities.


3.Metatarsal Cuneiform Joint Dorsal Plate Indications


Metatarsal Cuneiform Joint Dorsal Plate is used in orthopedic surgery for various indications related to 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.Second Tarsometatarsal (TMT) Joint Arthrodesis

This involves fusion of metatarsal-cuneiform joint, commonly performed in cases of severe deformity, arthritis, or instability. It's often part of the Lapidus procedure, a specific type of surgery used to correct hallux valgus.


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 Cuneiform Joint Medial Plate a versatile tool in foot and ankle surgery, particularly in addressing deformities, instability, and joint degeneration at the first metatarsal-cuneiform joint.

7.Metatarsal Cuneiform Joint Dorsal Plate FAQ


1. Metatarsal Cuneiform Joint Dorsal Plate?

Metatarsal Cuneiform Joint Dorsal 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.


2. What surgeries commonly use this plate?

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 metatarsal-cuneiform area.

  • Revision surgeries for recurrent hallux valgus.


3. Why is the plate preferred for hallux valgus correction?

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.


4. What materials are used to make the plate?

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.


5. Is the plate customizable during surgery?

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.


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

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)


7. How long does the plate stay in the body?

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.


8. What is the recovery time after surgery using this plate?

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.


9. Can the plate be seen or felt under the skin?

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.


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

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.
