Attendees at this year's American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) Annual Scientific Conference in Tampa, Florida will be the first to see Medline UNITE's new Lisfranc Plating & Screw System. This new product adds to Medline UNITE's portfolio of midfoot trauma and reconstruction implants.
Lisfranc injuries can occur in a variety of ways from sports to motor vehicle accidents, and can result in sprains, fractures and dislocations. Patients may require surgery, resulting in either a joint fusion or internal fixation of the affected bones and ligaments until the injury has healed. The Medline UNITE Lisfranc Plating & Screw System offers 18 dual-ray Lisfranc plates that feature bendable and removable tabs to accommodate variations in patient anatomy. The plates also feature more screw holes along with a reinforcement strut design for greater stabilization of the injury.
The specially designed Lisfranc screws are available in Ø3.7mm and Ø4.1mm diameter options and feature a unique corticocancellous thread pitch and an optimized head profile tailored for the anatomy and indication.
