MT Astragalus Locking Plate System | Titanium Talus Fracture Implant for Hindfoot Trauma

Advanced Fixation for Complex Talar Fractures

OrthoPro is proud to introduce the MT Astragalus Locking Plate, a specialized orthopedic implant designed to address the unique challenges of hindfoot surgery. Fractures of the astragalus (commonly referred to as the talus) are among the most difficult injuries to treat in orthopedic trauma. The bone’s tenuous blood supply and substantial articular surface area require implants that provide absolute stability to minimize the risk of Avascular Necrosis (AVN) and post-traumatic arthritis.

Our MT Astragalus Locking Plate system is engineered to meet these demands. By combining a low-profile anatomical fit with advanced locking technology, this system offers surgeons a reliable method for Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) of talar neck and body fractures. As a trusted partner for global medical distributors, OrthoPro ensures that every plate meets rigorous international quality standards, delivering performance and safety to patients worldwide.

Anatomical Design and Surgical Advantages

The anatomy of the talus presents limited areas for hardware placement without impinging on the ankle or subtalar joints. The MT Astragalus Locking Plate addresses these constraints through its thoughtful design:

• Anatomical Contouring: The plate is pre-shaped to match the curvature of the medial or lateral aspect of the talus. This reduces the need for intraoperative bending, preserving the mechanical properties of the titanium and shortening surgical time.
• Low-Profile Architecture: With a reduced thickness and chamfered edges, the plate minimizes irritation to the surrounding tendons and neurovascular structures, which is critical in the tight soft-tissue envelope of the foot.
• Multi-Planar Fixation: The screw hole configuration allows for divergent and convergent screw trajectories. This maximizes bone purchase in the dense subchondral bone and provides resistance against multi-directional forces.

Locking Technology for Superior Stability

Achieving rigid fixation in the talus is paramount to allow for revascularization and early mobilization. Our locking plate technology offers significant benefits:

• Angular Stability: The locking screws create a fixed-angle construct with the plate, preventing screw toggle and back-out, even in osteopenic bone or comminuted fractures.
• Compression Capability: The system features combination holes that allow for the use of cortical screws to achieve interfragmentary compression, essential for healing simple fracture lines.
• Versatility: The system is compatible with standard small fragment instrument sets, allowing for seamless integration into existing hospital inventories.

Indications for Use

The MT Astragalus Locking Plate is indicated for a specific range of hindfoot traumas and reconstructions:

• Displaced fractures of the talar neck (Hawkins Types I-IV).
• Fractures of the talar body.
• Comminuted fractures requiring bridge plating.
• Non-unions or malunions of the talus.
• Talar arthrodesis or reconstruction procedures.

Material and Quality Assurance

At OrthoPro, we prioritize quality and biocompatibility. Our plates are manufactured from medical-grade Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) or Pure Titanium. This material is chosen for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, high biocompatibility, and resistance to corrosion. Furthermore, titanium implants produce fewer artifacts in MRI and CT scans compared to stainless steel, allowing for better post-operative imaging and assessment of the talus.
