5th Metatarsal Hook Plate

The 5th Metatarsal Fracture System is a comprehensively designed screw and plate system that offers surgeons a variety of options to efficiently and effectively treat complex fifth metatarsal fractures. The robust, solid titanium screws (4.5 mm, 5.5 mm and 6.0 mm) range in size from 40 to 65 mm, offering more options to the surgeon. The system contains cannulated drills and taps for fast reproducible results.Another option is the low profile hook plate designed for the more comminuted proximal fifth metatarsal fracture. It features a compression hole and 2.4 mm variable angle locking screws. The plate is appropriately sized and contoured for the fifth metatarsal base, which is beneficial in difficult revision surgeries where the screw may no longer be a good option.
