Titanium First Metatarsocuneiform Fusion Locking Plate – Anatomical Lapidus Plate for Bunion Correction and Midfoot Arthrodesis

Advanced Surgical Solution: First Metatarsocuneiform Fusion Locking Plate

The First Metatarsocuneiform Fusion Locking Plate, offered by OrthoPro, is a premier orthopedic implant specifically engineered for arthrodesis of the first tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint. This procedure, commonly known as the Lapidus procedure, is essential for treating severe Hallux Valgus (bunions), midfoot instability, and degenerative joint diseases. Our plate system provides the rigid fixation required to achieve high fusion rates and restore the natural biomechanics of the foot.

As a dedicated B2B supplier of orthopedic solutions, OrthoPro focuses on precision and reliability. The First Metatarsocuneiform Fusion Locking Plate is designed to address the challenges of the 1st TMT joint’s unique anatomy. By utilizing advanced locking screw technology, the system creates a fixed-angle construct that is particularly advantageous in patients with osteopenic bone or those requiring early weight-bearing protocols.

Key Clinical Applications

This locking plate system is versatile and indispensable for foot and ankle surgeons focusing on reconstructive procedures. Primary applications include:

• Lapidus Arthrodesis: For the correction of significant Hallux Valgus deformities associated with first ray hypermobility.
• Midfoot Trauma Reconstruction: Stabilization of the medial column following fractures or dislocations.
• Osteoarthritis Treatment: Fusion of the first metatarsocuneiform joint due to post-traumatic or degenerative arthritis.
• Revision Surgery: Providing stable fixation in cases where previous bunion corrections have failed.

Product Technical Features

The First Metatarsocuneiform Fusion Locking Plate is manufactured from medical-grade Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), ensuring maximum biocompatibility and mechanical strength. Its low-profile design is critical for the foot’s dorsal surface, where skin coverage is thin, significantly reducing the risk of soft tissue irritation and hardware prominence.

• Anatomical Pre-contouring: The plate is shaped to fit the dorsal or medial-dorsal aspect of the first metatarsal and medial cuneiform, reducing the need for intraoperative bending.
• Locking & Compression Holes: Features specialized holes that allow for both dynamic compression across the fusion site and rigid locking fixation.
• Convergent/Divergent Screw Trajectory: Optimized screw angles ensure maximum bone purchase and avoid interference with adjacent joints.
• Surface Treatment: Anodized surface to minimize metal ion release and enhance durability.
