A metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint fusion plate is a specialized orthopedic implant used in foot surgery, specifically to fuse the metatarsophalangeal joint. This joint is located between the metatarsal bones of the foot and the proximal phalanges of the toes, most commonly the first MTP joint (the big toe).
Here are some key features of MTP joint fusion plates:
Anatomical Contouring: The plates are often pre-contoured to match the natural shape of the foot bones. This helps in achieving a better fit, reducing the need for additional bending during surgery.
Low-Profile Design: The plates are typically low-profile to minimize soft tissue irritation and reduce the risk of complications like hardware prominence.
Locking and Non-Locking Screw Options: These plates usually offer both locking and non-locking screw holes, allowing the surgeon flexibility in achieving stable fixation. Locking screws provide angular stability, which is especially useful in osteoporotic bone or complex fractures.
Variable-Angle Screw Placement: Some plates allow for variable-angle screw placement, giving the surgeon the ability to choose the optimal screw trajectory based on the specific anatomy and pathology of the patient.
Compression Slots or Holes: Many MTP fusion plates have compression slots or holes that enable the surgeon to achieve compression across the joint, which is essential for promoting bone fusion.
Radiolucent Markers: Some plates include radiolucent markers or features to help with precise positioning during surgery, ensuring proper alignment.
Material Composition: MTP fusion plates are typically made from biocompatible materials like titanium or stainless steel, which offer a good balance between strength and biocompatibility.
Multi-Site Fixation Points: The design often includes multiple fixation points, allowing the surgeon to securely anchor the plate to the bone, which is crucial for stability and successful fusion.
These plates are used in cases of severe arthritis, deformities, or trauma that have resulted in a non-functional or painful MTP joint, where joint preservation is no longer an option. The goal of the fusion is to relieve pain and restore function by stabilizing the joint.
●Humer fractures, including simple, comminuted, and osteoporotic fractures.
●Ankle fractures with involvement of the humer.
●Syndesmotic injuries requiring stabilization.
●Fractures that extend into the ankle joint (intra-articular fractures).

A metatarsophalangeal joint fusion plate is a specialized medical device used in orthopedic surgery to fuse the metatarsophalangeal joint, particularly in cases involving the big toe. The plate stabilizes the bones in a fixed position, facilitating the fusion of the joint to reduce pain and improve function.
An MTP joint fusion is typically recommended for patients with severe arthritis, deformities, or joint damage due to trauma that causes chronic pain and limits mobility. When other treatments, such as medication, physical therapy, or less invasive surgeries, fail to relieve symptoms, joint fusion can be an effective solution.
During surgery, the fusion plate is attached to the bones on either side of the MTP joint using screws. The plate holds the bones securely in place, allowing them to fuse over time into a single solid bone. This process eliminates joint movement, thereby reducing pain and improving foot stability.
Pain Relief: By fusing the joint, movement is eliminated, which reduces pain associated with arthritis or deformities.
Improved Stability: The plate ensures that the bones are held in the correct position, promoting proper healing and stable foot function.
Durability: Fusion plates are made from strong, biocompatible materials like titanium or stainless steel, ensuring long-term stability.
Yes, there are various designs available, including plates with anatomical contouring for a better fit, low-profile designs to minimize soft tissue irritation, and options for locking and non-locking screws for secure fixation. Some plates also allow variable-angle screw placement to accommodate different patient anatomies.
Recovery can vary depending on the patient and the extent of the surgery, but typically, patients can expect a recovery period of 6 to 12 weeks. Weight-bearing is usually restricted for the first few weeks, and full recovery may take several months, including physical therapy to regain strength and mobility.
As with any surgery, there are risks, including infection, nerve damage, nonunion (failure of the bones to fuse), and hardware complications, such as irritation from the plate or screws. However, these risks are relatively low and can often be managed with proper care.
Most patients can return to wearing normal shoes after they have fully healed. However, footwear choices may be limited to styles that accommodate the reduced flexibility of the fused joint. Your surgeon may recommend specific types of shoes to ensure comfort and support.
While many patients can return to low-impact activities after full recovery, high-impact sports that place significant stress on the foot may need to be avoided to prevent complications. Your surgeon will provide guidance based on your individual case.
The fusion created by the MTP joint fusion plate is intended to be permanent. Once the bones have successfully fused, they typically remain solid, providing long-term relief from pain and improved foot stability.
