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 MTP arthrodesis plate range has been designed to facilitate the surgical procedure. The medial approach provides easy access to the posts positioned dorsomedially on the joint.
The plates are designed to incorporate a transfixing screw passing through both sides of the MTP joint. These plates also feature an oblong ramped post to allow simple and controlled compression through the screw/plate interface.
The MTP1 plates come in several sizes:
- 3 standard plate sizes
- 2 narrow plate sizes
- 2 revision plates
- Standard
- 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 opening osteotomy of the base of the 1st metatarsal.
All these plates have been designed to be thin enough (1.4 mm thickness) to adapt to the constraints of the area. Several plate options are offered:
- 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 instrument has also been specifically developed to perform the opening of the base osteotomy of M1. This instrument allows distraction of the osteotomy site and maintains this opening while positioning the implant, as well as applying some compression.
The MIBO (Mini Invasive Basal Osteotomy) plate has been specifically designed for minimally invasive basal metatarsal closing osteotomy, particularly for severe Hallux Valgus cases.
Newclip’s goal is to offer a solution that allows the treatment of severe HV with minimally invasive surgery. The plate is used with a dedicated external phantom guide, which notably allows the plate to be inserted under the skin and the screws and instruments to be inserted through the guide positioned above the skin, acting as a visible replica of the plate.
Newclip Technics offers a complete range of 4 implants for dorsal-medial opening osteotomy of the 1st cuneiform (Cotton osteotomy), primarily to correct a collapse of the medial 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 bone graft
A 3-in-1 instrument has also been specifically developed to perform the opening of the Cotton osteotomy. This instrument allows distraction of the osteotomy site and maintains this opening while positioning the implant, as well as applying some 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 lateral cortex
- 1 plate without a wedge, allowing the addition of a bone graft
A dedicated 3-in-1 instrument has also been specifically developed to perform the opening of the Evans osteotomy. This instrument allows for distraction of the osteotomy site and maintains the opening while positioning the implant, as well as applying some 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
- 10 mm
The surgical technique has been designed to allow for medialization without the need for additional dedicated instruments.
A central non-locking screw is used to achieve the translation. The offset determines the size of the displacement.
Additionally, two transfixing screws provide 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.
