Procedure

A calcaneal osteotomy is a common technique used to treat stage II flatfoot deformity. Arthrex's recently launched Minimally Invasive Surgery platform allows surgeons to perform this osteotomy through a tiny incision. Surgeons can then achieve fixation using the 7.0 mm Compression FT screws or the 6.5 Compression PT screws.
Alternatively, surgeons desiring a graduated shift can use the calcaneal step plate via a lateral approach.

Calcaneal Osteotomy for Flatfoot

Child (D)

A chevron osteotomy is the most common technique used to correct mild to moderate bunion deformities. Traditionally, this procedure has been performed through an open approach. However, since the advent of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), surgeons now have the option to perform a chevron osteotomy through small percutaneous incisions. Following the osteotomy, the capital fragment is shifted laterally and fixated with either Compression FT screws for the MIS approach or Compression PT screws for the traditional open approach.

Chevron Osteotomy

The titanium Compression FT (fully threaded) screws come in 2.5 mm Micro, 3.5 mm Mini, 4.0 mm Standard, 5.0 mm Large, and 7.0 mm XL. The variable-stepped thread pitch and headless design helps reduce the risk of profile complications, provides compression, and allows for simplified insertion. Surgeons can now achieve zero-profile, stable fixation. The Compression FT family of screws now offers 5 diameters and 91 screw lengths to fit various orthopedic applications throughout the body.

Compression FT Screws Technique

Arthrex offers a multitude of fixation options for 1st metatarsal osteotomy corrections. For surgeons that prefer a minimally invasive approach, Arthrex offers a comprehensive product line for percutaneous osteotomies and fixation with Compression FT screws.
For surgeons that prefer a traditional plating approach, Arthrex offers the versatile proximal 1st metatarsal osteotomy plate. Ludloff, Mau, proximal, crescentic, proximal Chevron, and Scarf osteotomies can all be fixated using the same plate. Arthrex also offers proximal opening wedge osteotomy plates to reduce the IM angle.
