Arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP I) is considered the reference treatment for advanced stages of hallux rigidus, the most common form of foot osteoarthritis. It aims to provide long-lasting pain relief while ensuring stable weight-bearing recovery.
This procedure is widely performed worldwide, with a significant increase in cases observed. This is why Newclip has developed a single-use kit to address the challenges of standardization, logistical facilitation, and infection risk control, while providing all the essentials required for the smooth execution of the surgical procedure.
This plate has been specifically designed to facilitate the surgical procedure, notably through the medial approach allowing access to the plate posts positioned dorsomedially on the joint.
A single plate size, its screws, and associated instrumentation are thus combined in a single ready-to-use kit. This allows surgeons and healthcare staff to reduce preparation time. Consequently, patient turnover becomes more efficient within the operating room, contributing to better utilization of the facility.
Eight kits are offered: 3 standard plate sizes for the right and left sides, 1 narrow plate size for the right and left sides.
Ready when you are!
The implants of the INITIAL F MTP range are dedicated to arthrodesis, fracture and osteotomy fixation, and foot revision surgeries in adults.
Our sterile solution: INITIAL F MTP.
The INITIAL F MTP kits consist of implants and instrumentation for performing arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP). Each kit includes one plate size, screws (locked and non-locked), pins, a screwdriver, a length gauge, a handle for the guide gauge, a quick-release drill, and a threaded guide gauge.
8 kits available:
- 3 standard plate sizes for the right and left sides
- 1 narrow plate size for the right and left sides
To prepare the joint surface, single-use convex and concave burr kits (in 3 different diameters) are also offered.
The plate design requires a medial approach, facilitating access to the posts positioned dorsomedially on the joint.
Additionally, the plate incorporates a transfixing screw passing across the MTP joint. These plates also feature an oblong post with a ramp to allow simple and controlled compression through the screw/plate interface.
The INITIAL F MTP kit range includes:
-
3 asymmetric standard plate sizes for the right and left sides
-
1 asymmetric narrow plate size for the right and left sides
To prepare the joint surface, single-use convex and concave burr kits (in 3 different diameters) are also offered.
Key features of the INITIAL F MTP kit.
- Plate design for a medial approach
