Procedure

The Lapidus procedure is an arthrodesis of the 1st metatarsocuneiform joint. It is performed most commonly as a method to reduce the intermetatarsal angle (IMA) in the setting of hypermobility or arthritis of the 1st metatarsocuneiform joint.

Product

The plantar Lapidus plate was designed to provide fixation for a Lapidus procedure. The plate is placed plantar on the 1st tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint and is fixed with two 3.5 mm locking screws at both the distal and proximal ends to optimize construct strength. The precontoured left and right plates allow secure plantar placement and spare the tibialis anterior tendon. The plantar Lapidus plate provides compression over the entire arthrodesis area using a solid 4.0 mm compression screw through the plate. The plantar orientation avoids gapping of the arthrodesis site during early weightbearing.1

Plantar Lapidus Plate

More than a plate, this is a complete system for joint preparation and fixation for the treatment of severe hallux rigidus and other MTP pathologies. Whether used in primary or revision cases, this system enables surgeons to reduce, compress, and lock the 1st metatarsal phalangeal joint in the ideal position for arthrodesis. Features &amp; Benefits:
<ul>
 <li>Anatomic Plate Design - 1.5 mm titanium plate is anatomically designed with 8 degrees of dorsiflexion and 5 degrees of valgus</li>
 <li>Concave, Convex Reamers - Facilitate quick and accurate joint preparation</li>
 <li>3 mm Variable-Angle Locking Screws - With a 30-degree cone of variability</li>
</ul>
