Designed in conjunction with Lawrence Fallat, DPM, J. Robert Faux, MD, and Nirmal Tejwani, MD, the Lisfranc plating system provides fixation for Lisfranc fractures-dislocations and fusions of the articulation between the first, second, and third metatarsal bones, and the cuneiform bones. This system offers the most complete selection of plates for a dorsal, dorsomedial and medial approach. The plate design allows for compression and stabilization of the TMT joint while allowing surgeons to visualize the affected area during the healing process.
The system offers a family of five plates that include 25 left and right specific plate options in several sizes to fit various patient anatomies. The plates are low profile and are anatomically contoured to fit the TMT joints. All plates offer universal plate holes accepting double lead 2.7 mm, 3.5 mm and/or 4.0 mm locking and nonlocking screws in any hole and up to 20º of variable angle locking in any direction (40º conical)
The system also provides a unique Lisfranc targeting guide that facilitates accurate Lisfranc screw fixation placement and trajectory for cases presenting with intermetatarsal instability. The guide is incredibly versatile, compatible with a wide range of screw sizes and types, making it the ideal instrument for any surgical situation.
The Lisfranc plating system is used with the ExtremiLock Foot Plating System screws and instrumentation. The instrumentation was designed to assist with soft tissue management, bone and plate manipulation as well as screw insertion.
