Feline Pantarsal Arthrodesis Plate 2.0/2.7mm with 120° Anatomical Angulation

Description

The 2.0/2.7mm Feline Pantarsal Arthrodesis Plate is a specialized veterinary orthopedic implant developed to support effective pantarsal joint fusion in feline patients. Pantarsal arthrodesis is a demanding procedure that requires precise alignment, rigid fixation, and long-term stability to achieve successful outcomes. This plate addresses those requirements through a carefully engineered anatomical design tailored specifically for feline hind limb anatomy.

The plate incorporates a fixed 120-degree angulation, which closely replicates the natural alignment required for functional limb positioning following arthrodesis. This pre-contoured geometry reduces the need for intraoperative plate bending, helping surgeons achieve consistent alignment while minimizing surgical time. The absence of a T4 slot allows uninterrupted plate structure, enhancing overall rigidity across the fusion site.

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel and titanium alloy, the plate provides excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility suitable for long-term implantation. Its low-profile contour helps reduce soft tissue irritation while maintaining the stability required for complete joint fusion. The smooth surface finish supports improved tissue compatibility during post-operative recovery.

The hybrid screw compatibility allows the use of both 2.0mm and 2.7mm screws within a single plate, enabling surgeons to optimize fixation across different bone segments. Smaller screws can be used in distal regions, while larger screws provide enhanced purchase proximally, resulting in balanced load distribution and improved construct stability.

Available in both right and left configurations, the plate ensures anatomical accuracy and precise positioning for each limb. With a nine-hole configuration and a length of approximately 74mm, it offers sufficient fixation points to secure the tarsal, metatarsal, and tibial regions involved in pantarsal fusion. This comprehensive fixation strategy supports predictable bone healing and durable surgical outcomes.

The 2.0/2.7mm Feline Pantarsal Arthrodesis Plate is widely used in veterinary orthopedic procedures involving severe tarsal instability, trauma, or deformity correction in cats. Its anatomical angulation, hybrid fixation capability, and robust construction make it a reliable choice for achieving consistent pantarsal arthrodesis results.
