摘要:
An internal plate fixation device is provided for load bearing and non-load bearing fixation on a plantar side of a metatarsocuneiform joint in a Lapidus procedure. The fixation device includes a U-shaped plate having a plantar section interconnecting a pair of opposed medial legs which are bent relative to the plantar section. The plantar section is formed with a set of threaded fixation holes for receiving locking screws therein. The legs are formed with a set of threaded fixation holes for receiving locking screws therein, and a set of non-threaded fixation holes for receiving temporary K-wires and an interfragmentary compression screw which provides compression and stability at the joint.
