Mini Straight Plate for 2.0mm Screws: Minimally Invasive Fixation for Small Bone Fragments in Hand and Foot

The Mini Straight Plate for 2.0mm Screws is a valuable implant for orthopedic surgeons performing hand and foot surgery. This specialized plate offers several advantages for achieving optimal healing in minimally invasive approaches:

• Small Size and Straight Design: The narrow, elongated design allows for secure fixation of small bone fragments or precise placement during osteotomies with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues in the hand and foot.
• Compatibility with 2.0mm Screws: The plate is designed for use with small, 2.0mm diameter screws. This minimizes additional screw hole creation within the delicate bones of the hand and foot, promoting a minimally invasive approach.
• Stable Fixation: Despite its small size, the plate’s design provides strong and stable fixation at the fracture or osteotomy site, promoting optimal healing in the hand and foot.

Applications in Hand and Foot Surgery:

The Mini Straight Plate for 2.0mm Screws is particularly suited for procedures in the hand and foot involving small bone fragments or osteotomies, including:

• Hand Surgery:
  • Fracture fixation in delicate bones of the hand, such as the phalanges (fingers) or metacarpals (palm side of the hand).
  • Securing bone fragments during carpal boss surgery (removal of prominence at the base of the thumb).
• Foot Surgery:
  • Fracture fixation in the toes (phalanges) or metatarsals (long bones of the foot).
  • Arthrodesis (surgical joint fusion) procedures in the toes or small joints of the foot.

Important Considerations:

While the Mini Straight Plate offers minimally invasive advantages, consulting with a qualified orthopedic surgeon is crucial to determine the most appropriate implant selection for your specific hand or foot case. Here are some additional factors to consider:

• Type and severity of the bone fracture or osteotomy in your hand or foot
• Size and location of the bone involved in the hand or foot
• Bone quality and density in the hand or foot
• Patient’s overall health and medical history

Additional Notes:

• Mini Straight Plates for 2.0mm screws come in various lengths and configurations to accommodate different bone sizes and surgical needs in the hand and foot.
• The material of the plate is typically biocompatible stainless steel or titanium alloy.
• The surgery to implant the mini straight plate typically involves fluoroscopy (live X-ray) to ensure accurate positioning of the plate and screws within the hand or foot.
