MetaFix™ Plantar BG10
Plantar arthrodesis after lapidus
The MetaFix™ Plantar BG10 System is an innovative, user-friendly fixed-angle plate implant system providing secure stabilisation of plantar arthrodeses following lapidus. The plate’s proximal medial tab ensures precise, optimum initial fixation using unidirectional fixed-angle screws. Biomechanically optimised plate placement allows plantar cerciage, which helps the joint bear weight early on so that patients can rapidly become mobile again. The MetaFix™ Plantar BG10 was developed in collaboration with Dr. med. Bernd Gaudin, Hygiea Clinic, Berlin.
Technical data
- Osteosynthetic stabilisation of lapidus arthrodesis through plantar plate and dorsal compression screw
- Low profile, anatomically shaped plate available in two sizes, side-specific
- Proven Merete-MetaFix™ basic instrument set with LS 3.0 mm and 3.5 mm diameter screws, plus Merete Cannulated PCS dorsal compression screws
- All implants made of ELI TiAl6V4
FEATURES
- The panel’s proximal medial tab allows simple, optimally placed initial fixation using a unidirectional, fixed-angle screw, making the remaining screws easier to install
- Biomechanically optimised plate placement allows plantar cerciage, allowing rapid return to weight-bearing and mobilisation
- Plate covered by soft tissue, e.g., abductor hallucis
- Correction of medium and large intermetatarsal angles, even after unsuccessful corrective work around the stem
- Fixed-angle system provides high primary stability without loss of correction
- Bending zones allow adaptation to individual situations without damaging threaded holes
- K-wire holes on plate allow temporary fixation
Indications
- Moderate to severe hallux valgus
- Tarsometatarsal I joint hypermobility
- Tarsometatarsal I joint arthrosis
- Correction of unsuccessful stem osteotomy
