* Required Field

Plantar Lapidus

  • Indication: first metatarsal-cuneiform fusion
  • Range: Short plates / Long plates
    Left & Right option
  • Presslock® compression hole: 3.5 mm locking screw
  • Transversal screw hole: 3.5 mm locking screw
  • Radius of curvature: preservation of the anterior tibial tendon

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

Visual alignment guide for compressive plantar screw:

Exact positioning of the MTP plate in relation to the interfragmentary screw

The Presslock® slot generates mechanical compression between two bone segments, before subsequent locking in the threaded part of the slot. To receive 1.5mm of additional locking compression, use the gold drill guide, specifically designed for this technology. If compression is not desired, the Presslock® drill-guide can be reversed and used in the ‘neutral’ position with the arrow facing away from the bone segment.

 

Monoaxial & Polyaxial System

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. ​

  • Monoaxial locking screws
  • Polyaxial non-locking screws
  • Tapered head
  • Self-tapping design
  • Self-retaining driver / screw interface

Compression Screws

​Additional 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.​
