A calcaneum translation plate () characterized in that it comprises two end portions, i.e. a proximal anchoring portion () and a distal fixing portion (), oriented in opposing directions and arranged in spaced parallel planes (P-P, P'-P&#x2032;), said proximal and distal portions connecting to an intermediate portion () having a square general profile and comprising two perpendicular bearing surfaces, the proximal anchoring portion extending from one () of said surfaces and perpendicular thereto, whereas the distal fixing portion extends in the extension of the other bearing surface ().

Calcaneum translation plate

An extreme movement osteotomy device includes an attachment plate suitable for being locked to the cortical substance of the bone to be treated, having a first proximal portion suitable for being attached to the inner cortical substance of the metatarsal diaphysis of the bone, a distal portion suitable for being attached to the outer cortical substance, next to the epiphysis of the metatarsus, and a central portion connecting the proximal and distal portions, each one of the proximal and distal portions of the plate being provided with at least one hole and orthopedic screws to pass therethrough; and a proximal intramedullary support system having a shank with a foam tip extending from the end of the proximal portion of the plate.

Osteotomy device, in particular for performing extreme SCARF osteotomy in the treatment of severe Hallux Valgus
