MD Anterior Process Calcaneal Locking Plate System | Titanium Implant for Calcaneocuboid Joint & Avulsion Fractures

Specialized Solution for Anterior Calcaneal Process Fractures

OrthoPro is proud to introduce the MD Anterior Process Calcaneal Locking Plate, a specialized implant designed to address the often-overlooked fractures of the anterior calcaneal process. These fractures, frequently misdiagnosed as severe ankle sprains, can lead to chronic pain and calcaneocuboid joint arthritis if not properly stabilized. Our plating system offers a precise, anatomically contoured solution to capture these specific fragments and restore the integrity of the lateral column of the foot.

As a dedicated partner to global medical distributors and hospital procurement teams, OrthoPro focuses on delivering high-quality trauma solutions. The MD Anterior Process Calcaneal Locking Plate combines biomechanical strength with a design that respects the delicate soft tissue envelope of the lateral foot, ensuring both surgeon satisfaction and optimal patient outcomes.

Anatomical Design and Surgical Benefits

The lateral aspect of the foot presents unique challenges due to thin skin coverage and the proximity of the peroneal tendons. Our plate is engineered to overcome these obstacles:

• Anatomical Contouring: The plate is pre-shaped to fit the complex curvature of the anterior calcaneus and the calcaneocuboid joint. This reduces the need for intraoperative bending, preserving the fatigue strength of the titanium and shortening surgical time.
• Low-Profile Architecture: With a reduced thickness and tapered edges, the plate sits flush against the bone, minimizing hardware prominence and reducing the risk of tendon irritation or wound complications.
• Fragment Capture: The screw hole configuration is optimized to capture small avulsion fragments often associated with the bifurcate ligament, providing secure fixation where it is needed most.

Advanced Locking Technology

Stability is paramount in foot reconstruction to allow for early mobilization. The MD Anterior Process Calcaneal Locking Plate utilizes advanced locking screw technology:

• Fixed-Angle Stability: The locking screws create a rigid construct with the plate, which is particularly beneficial in osteopenic bone or when bridging comminuted fracture zones.
• Versatile Screw Options: The system typically utilizes 2.7mm or 3.5mm screws, allowing surgeons to choose the appropriate diameter based on the fragment size and bone quality.
• Compression Holes: Strategically placed combination holes allow for compression across the fracture line or joint fusion site, promoting primary bone healing.

Indications for Use

The MD Anterior Process Calcaneal Locking Plate is indicated for a specific range of foot traumas and reconstructive procedures:

• Fractures of the anterior process of the calcaneus.
• Avulsion fractures involving the bifurcate ligament insertion.
• Calcaneocuboid joint arthrodesis (fusion).
• Lateral column lengthening procedures (e.g., Evans osteotomy).
• Reconstruction of non-unions or malunions in the anterior calcaneus.

Material and Quality Assurance

OrthoPro is committed to excellence. Our implants are manufactured from medical-grade Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) or Pure Titanium, known for their superior biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and strength. Titanium implants also produce fewer artifacts in MRI and CT scans compared to stainless steel, allowing for clearer post-operative imaging.
