Product Overview
FEATURES
• Plate design minimizes conflict with tibialis anterior tendon insertion*
• Optimized plate design allows for soft tissue friendly access
• Anatomical plate shape*
(*Plaass et al.: «Placement of Plantar Plates for Lapidus Arthrodesis Anatomical Considerations» Seven plantar plate designs were analyzed on 29 anatomic specimens with regard to plate position towards the tibialis anterior tendon, general plate design as well as the necessity of further bending. The APTUS plantar fusion plate achieved the best result.)
