What are the advantages of the osteo-WEDGETM Bone Locking Plate and Screw System?
The osteo-WEDGETM system was designed to overcome the limitations of other devices and procedures.Advantages include:
- Ability to lengthen, shorten or maintain metatarsal length
- Ability to plantarflex or dorsiflex the metatarsal – sagittal plane correction
- Ability to correct an increased first metatarsal angle – transverse plane correction
- Dorsomedial application at the 1st metatarsal medial cuneiform joint to counteract weight bearing forces
- Six points (three proximally and three distally) of locking screw fixation for maximum stability
- Thin (1mm), low profile, but strong titanium configuration
- Allows for easy and accurate placement
- May allow for early weightbearing
