Basal Osteotomy / Open Wedge
The Basal Osteotomy plates come in left and right configurations and are only 1.0mm thick to accommodate the limitations of the soft tissue envelope of the medial column.
Three wedge sizes allow a range of opening angles, whereas the 0mm (no wedge) plate facilitates the fixation of closing osteotomies. All screw holes allow usage of Ø3.0mm or Ø3.5mm, locking and non-locking screws.

Standard compression hole:
- Accomodates with 3.0 non-locking screws
- Delivers 1.5 mm of additional compression
- Corresponds to areas with high bone density
Threaded holes:
For locking or non-locking 3.0 or 3.5 mm screws

The Airlock® Ø3.0mm and Ø3.5mm locking and non-locking screws may be used in all Airlock plate fixation holes. However the standard compression hole only accomodate Ø3.0mm non-locking screws, and the Presslock® compression hole only accomodate Ø3.5mm locking screws.
Additional plantar compression can be achieved with a combined Nexis Ø4.0mm headless compression screw, beveled PECA Compressive Ø4.0mm screw, or Nexis Ø5.0mm headless compression screw.
All instrumentation is conveniently organized and color coded (see below).
