Arthrex has developed a comprehensive, completely disposable system for various augmentation procedures about the forefoot. Most commonly, this implant system can be used for crossover toe deformities of the lesser digits.
Features:
<ul>
 <li>All-in-One System – The implant system comes with 3 mm × 8 mm Tenodesis Screw implants, an oblong button, FiberTape® and LabralTape™ sutures, drill bits, guidewires, and suture shuttling devices in a convenient, sterile package</li>
 <li>Knotless Repair Technique – Allows surgeons to create a strong, no-profile repair construct</li>
 <li>Multiple Technique Options – Implant system can be used to treat numerous pathologies about the forefoot</li>
</ul>
 
The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during the healing period and is not intended as a replacement for the native ligament. The InternalBrace technique is for use during soft tissue-to-bone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.

Procedure

A long lesser metatarsal can lead to common toe problems. A metatarsal shortening osteotomy can help prevent future complications, including plantar plate tears leading to crossover toe deformities, as well as hammer toes and claw toes. Once these complications have occurred, the surgeon may choose a metatarsal shortening osteotomy to decompress the MTP joint and decrease the tension on dynamic soft tissues.

Metatarsal Shortening Osteotomy 

The majority of plantar plate injuries are treated with traditional lesser MTPJ rebalancing procedures, including sequential release of soft tissue, tendon transfers, metatarsal osteotomies, and temporary MTPJ pinning. These approaches, while quick and inexpensive, do not address the underlying issues of loss of toe purchase and the high incidence of reoccurrence often associated with performing an indirect repair. Direct repair of the plantar plate with Arthrex’s family of solutions delivers improved patient outcomes and higher patient satisfaction scores.
Arthrex’s continuous evolution in plantar plate repair has led to the development of a family of products capable of addressing any stage of lesser toe instability, from a partial plantar plate tear with mid-dorsal plane instability to a complete rupture and attenuation of the plantar plate with a crossover toe deformity. Below is the summary of our current offerings:
<ul>
 <li>CPR™ System With the Mini Scorpion™ and Pigtail Lasso Suture Passer</li>
 <li>CPR System With the Viper™ Suture Passer</li>
 <li>CPR System With Forefoot InternalBrace™ Repair</li>
