The implants in the Footmotion Plating System range are designed for arthrodesis, fixation of fractures and osteotomies and revision surgeries of the foot in adults.
The implants in the Footmotion Plating System range were born from a simple observation: the difference in the biomechanical properties of each of the 16 joints of the foot creates a unique need for each indication. With this in mind, Newclip Technics engineers worked closely with specialist foot and ankle surgeons to best address these anatomical and surgical issues. Implants were thus designed for each joint and therapeutic indication. This partnership with renowned surgeons has helped us benefit from their expertise and expand this range over the years.
Case study : Managing a lisfranc fracture by primary arthrodesis
Our philosophy :
A plate designed for each indication and requirement.
The range of MTP arthrodesis plates has been designed to facilitate surgical procedures. The medial approach facilitates access to the holes positioned dorsomedially to the joint.
The plates have been designed to have a transfixing screw running either side of the MTP joint. These plates also have a ramp oblong hole to allow simple and controlled compression using the screw/plate interface.
The MTP plates are available in several sizes:
- 3 standard plate sizes
- 2 narrow plate sizes
- ramp oblong hole present
- 2 revision plates: standard and narrow
Newclip Technics offers a wide
range of Lapidus arthrodesis solutions to adapt to various surgical philosophies, allowing the placement of implants via a medial, plantar or even medioplantar approach.
Each plate type comes in several sizes:
- Standard plantar plates (3 sizes)
- Narrow plantar plates (3 sizes)
- Dorsomedial plate (1 size)
- Medioplantar plates (3 sizes) enable the insertion of the anterior tibial tendon to be followed, in order to minimize the risks of conflicts. In addition, its shape enables the surgical approach to be reduced (compared to using a plantar plate).
Newclip Technics offers a wide range of Lisfranc arthrodesis solutions to cope with different surgical configurations. The range allows two sections (dependent or independent) to be held.
- Dorsal lisfranc plates: fitted on two sections
- Medial lisfranc plates designed for TMT-1 fusion with TMT-2. Its frontal curvature is more pronounced compared to dorsal lisfranc plates and therefore follows the anatomical curvature of these two joints
- Isolated lisfranc plates: this plate has a transarticular hole allowing for the insertion of a metatarsal lag screw to the cuneiform. They are positioned only on one section
Newclip Technics has developed a complete range for talonavicular arthrodesis, with different approaches to adapt to the patient’s anatomy. Each of these plates has a transarticular hole to position a lag screw.
There are two approaches:
- Dorsal approach between the extensor hallucis longus and the anterior tibial tendon
- Medial approach located between the anterior tibial tendon and the posterior tibial tendon, symmetrical between the left and the right
Newclip Technics has developed a complete range of 4 implants for the opening osteotomy of the 1st metatarsal base. These plates have all been designed to be thin enough (1.4 mm thick) to adapt to the constraints of the area. Several plate options are available :
- 3 plates with an integrated wedge (3 mm, 4 mm, and 5 mm) positioned on the external cortex
- 1 plate without a wedge.
- A 3-in-1 device has also been specifically developed to perform the opening of the M1 base osteotomy. This instrument allows the osteotomy site to be distracted and this opening to be maintained while the implant is positioned, and it can also apply a certain amount of compression
The MIBO (Mini Invasive Basal Osteotomy) plate has been
specifically designed for base-metatarsal closure, in the context of severe bunions. Newclip’s objective is to offer a solution for treating severe bunions with minimally invasive surgery.
The plate is used with its own external guide, in particular enabling insertion of the plate under the skin and insertion of the screws and instruments through the guide, which is located on top of the skin.
Newclip Technics offers a complete range of 4 implants for dorsomedial opening osteotomy of the 1st cuneiform (Cotton osteotomy), notably to correct a collapse of the internal arch.
Several plate options are available:
- 3 plates with an integrated wedge (4.5 mm, 5.5 mm, and 6.5 mm) positioned against the external cortex
- 1 plate without a wedge, allowing the addition of a graft
- A 3-in-1 device has also been specifically developed to perform the opening of the Cotton osteotomy. This instrument allows the osteotomy site to be distracted and this opening to be maintained while the implant is positioned, and it can also apply a certain amount of compression.
Newclip Technics offers a complete range of 4 implants for medial column lengthening osteotomy (Evans).
Several plate options are available :
- 3 plates with an integrated wedge (6 mm, 8 mm, and 10 mm) to support the external cortex
- 1 plate without a wedge, allowing the addition of a graft
- A 3-in-1 device has also been specifically developed to perform the opening of the Evans osteotomy. This instrument allows the osteotomy site to be distracted and this opening to be maintained while the implant is positioned, and it can also apply a certain amount of compression
The implants for medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy (MDCO) are available with three different offsets depending on the desired correction: 5 mm, 7.5 mm, and 10 mm.
The surgical technique has been designed to allow medialization without additional specific devices. A non-locking central screw will be used to achieve the translation. The offset determines the size of the displacement.
In addition, two transfixing screws allow compression between the two bone fragments and stabilize the construct.
The Footmotion Plating System kit offers a wide range of compressive straight plates designed to treat fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodesis of small bones and bone fragments.
It contains 6 implants ranging from 2 holes to 7 holes.
The ramp oblong hole allows compression to be added to the construct.
The plates can be bent to adapt to the patient’s anatomy.

Our INITIAL solutions for the foot.
The ONE Platform.
ONE is the patient-specific correction guide solution designed to assist you in the 2D and 3D planning of your surgeries, as well as in performing your osteotomies. The manufacturing of our patient-specific cutting guides is the result of close collaboration between surgeons and Newclip Technics, to best meet surgical needs and support the surgeon throughout every step. These solutions are developed based on clinical imaging data to optimize anatomical congruence between the implant and bone tissue.
