LC-DCP Adaption Plate for metatarsal osteotomy

media-93098

The LC-DCP Adaption Plate 2.4 with four holes is an addition to the existing implants and instruments of the Modular Foot Set 2.4.

The LC-DCP Adaption Plate 2.4 is indicated for treatment of fractures and osteotomies on the 2.4. metatarsal bone. The need for compression and the possibility of movement of the plate is very important for these procedures, therefore the DC-hole is more advantageous compared to the LCP. The standard DCU hole allows for 1480 of angulation and enables compression on both directions.

Furthermore, the plate has a scalloped contour providing a better view to the bone.
