FUSION PLATES
Fusion plates feature the Presslock® technology, a locking compression hole allowing for an additional 1.5 mm compression before locking into a threaded hole, providing strength and stable fixation.
Available in a variety of lengths, in both straight and H designs, these plates are engineered for universal application throughout the midfoot and rearfoot for the fixation of osteotomies, fractures and arthrodeses.
Low profile design > Plate thickness optimized according to the indications to limit subcutaneous discomfort.
Standard compression hole:
- Accomodates with 3 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 or 3.5 mm screws

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® Ø3mm and Ø3.5mm locking and non-locking screws may be used in all Airlock plate fixation threaded holes. However the standard compression hole only accomodate Ø3mm 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 Ø4mm headless compression screw, beveled PECA Compressive Ø4mm screw, or Nexis Ø5mm headless compression screw.
All instrumentation is conveniently organized and color coded.

Tarsometatarsal Arthrodesis
Universal Fusion Straight Plate
The universal straight plates can be utilized to achieve strong, stable fixation when performing an arthrodesis of either a single or multiple joints across the tarsometatarsal joint.
With Presslock® technology, you have the added benefit of 1.5mm of fixed compression, or static fixation with no compression when needed in certain cases such as for a Lisfranc fracture or dislocation.
Lapidus Arthrodesis
Universal Fusion Straight Plate
The universal straight plates feature a low-profile, 1.6mm thickness, to reduce the risk of prominent hardware to preserve soft tissue. When used in the Lapidus procedure, two straight plates positioned dorsally and medially, will provide strength, stability and the option to compress along the entire joint.
Dwyer Osteotomy
Universal Fusion Straight Plate
The universal fusion straight plate provides stable fixation for a lateral calcaneal osteotomy. Given that the plate is only 1.6mm thick, preserving soft tissue irritation while maintaining strength and stability.
The Presslock® oblong compression slots accept 3.5mm locking screws only. Both 3.0mm or 3.5mm locking or non-locking screws may be utilized in the remaining threaded hole.
Prior to use of the Novastep® system, carefully read the surgical technique, the instructions for use (IFU) and all packaging label information related to the implants and instruments.
