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.
8 kits available:
- 3 sizes of standard plates for right and left sides
- 1 size of narrow plate for right and left sides
To prepare the articular surface, single-use convex and concave reamer kits (available in 3 different diameters) are also offered.
The design of the plate requires a medial approach, facilitating access to the pegs positioned dorso-medially to the joint.
In addition, the plate integrates a transfixing screw that extends across the MTP joint. These plates also feature an oblong ramped hole to allow simple and controlled compression through the screw/plate interface.
The INITIAL F – MTP kit range includes:
-
3 sizes of standard asymmetrical plates for right and left sides
-
1 size of narrow asymmetrical plates for right and left sides
To prepare the articular surface, single-use convex and concave reamer kits (available in 3 different diameters) are also offered.
Key features of the INITIAL F – MTP kit.
- Plate design for a medial approach
