Plantar Lapidus Narrow Plate brochure
> Example of application: osteoarthritis, functional deformities.

Anatomical implant
• The design of this implant is the result of a proprietary state-of-the-art mapping technology to establish the maximum congruence between the plate and the bone,
• The plate is made of Grade 2 Titanium for an easier adaptation to first tarsometatarsal (TMT1) joint anatomies when using bending pliers.

Plantar positioning of the plate
• Offers stable assembly and generates dynamic compression (see diagram to the right), the transfixation screw is inserted through the joint providing stability to the assembly.

Fixation
Ø3.5 mm single diameter:
• 2 oblong holes: Ø3.5 mm non locking screw:
- Distal oblong hole: screw angulation up to 35°,
- Oblong holes positioning allows to avoid conflicts between scr ews.
• 2 or 3 locking holes: Ø3.5 mm locking screw.
Hexalobular screw recess.

Plate bending
The plates of the Footmotion Plating System can be bent using the appropriate bending pliers (ANC578) with the following instructions:
- Bending is only possible in the areas intended for this purpose,
- A bendable area must be bent only once and in one direction,
- Bending must not be performed excessively,
- The holes must be protected to avoid damaging the fixation.
