2.7 MM LCP L-FUSION PLATE - RIGHT
The 2.7 MM LCP L-Fusion Plate - Right is a specialized orthopedic implant designed for fusion procedures involving the foot and ankle, specifically tailored for the lateral aspect of the foot on the right side. Here are its specifications and common uses:
Specification
- Material: Typically made from titanium alloy, chosen for its strength, durability, and biocompatibility.
- Thickness: The plate usually has a thickness of 2.7 millimeters, providing sufficient stability and support for fusion procedures.
- Plate Design: The L-Fusion Plate is named for its L-shaped design, featuring a central stem or body with a horizontal portion and a vertical portion. This design allows for stable fixation and fusion of bones in the lateral aspect of the foot, such as the calcaneus and cuboid bones.
- Locking Mechanism: Utilizes a locking screw mechanism, allowing screws to securely lock into the plate, providing enhanced stability compared to traditional screw fixation.
- Variable Angle Screw Holes: The plate typically includes variable angle screw holes, allowing surgeons flexibility in screw placement to achieve optimal compression and fixation during fusion surgery.
Uses
- Calcaneocuboid Fusion: The primary use of the L-Fusion Plate - Right is in fusion procedures involving the calcaneocuboid joint or other joints in the lateral aspect of the foot on the right side. Fusion may be indicated for conditions such as severe arthritis, deformities, instability, or trauma.
- Lateral Column Lengthening: It may be used in procedures involving lateral column lengthening to correct flatfoot deformities or to realign the foot and ankle complex.
- Revision Surgery: The plate can be employed in revision surgeries where previous interventions have failed to achieve fusion or stability of the lateral aspect of the foot on the right side.
- Trauma: Used in traumatic injuries involving the lateral aspect of the foot, such as fractures or dislocations, where fusion is required for stabilization and pain management.
Overall, the 2.7 MM LCP L-Fusion Plate - Right serves as a specialized and reliable orthopedic implant for achieving fusion and stability of the lateral aspect of the foot on the right side, addressing a range of conditions such as arthritis, deformities, instability, or trauma to enhance patient comfort and function.
