Universal Fusion H Plates
Talonavicular Arthrodesis
Universal Fusion H Plate
The plate’s low 1.6mm profile provides strength and stability across the talonavicular joint with the added benefit of 1.5mm of fixed compression. It can also be applied more dorsally, allowing for the medial placement of an additional retrograde compression screw.
Calcaneocuboid Arthrodesis
Universal Fusion H Plate
The choice of plate sizes and Presslock® compression holes address a variety of patient anatomies to provide fixed 1.5mm compression with locked, axially stable fixation for calcaneocuboid arthrodesis procedures.
The static fixation holes accept 3.0mm and 3.5mm, locking or non-locking screws. Non-locking screws allow a +/- 15° range of off axis trajectories when placed in the static plate holes.
Evans Osteotomy
Universal Fusion H Plate
The availability of three plate length options allows a variety of graft thicknesses for the Evans procedure. If no compression is needed, a full locking construct may be used by placing the 3.5mm locking screws in the oblong hole with the screws placed in the neutral position and either 3.0mm or 3.5mm locking screws in the remaining static fixation holes.
Naviculocuneiform Arthrodesis
Universal Fusion H Plate
Using the 1.6mm universal fusion H plate in a naviculocuneiform arthrodesis, allows for increased strength and stability across the joint line to provide 1.5mm of additional fixed compression when utilizing the Presslock® oblong slots.
These 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 opposing fixation holes.
Universal Fusion Straight Plates
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 that may cause soft tissue irritation. 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, it minimizes soft tissue irritation while maintaining strength and stability.
The 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 hole.
