Canine Pantarsal Arthrodesis Plate with T4 Slot Veterinary Orthopedic Implant

Description

The canine pantarsal arthrodesis plate with T4 slot is a specialized veterinary orthopedic implant designed to achieve rigid stabilization of the tarsal joint in dogs requiring permanent joint fusion. This implant is commonly used in cases of severe joint instability, traumatic injury, chronic luxation, advanced osteoarthritis, neurological dysfunction, and failed previous surgical interventions.

Engineered specifically for canine anatomy, the plate provides angular stability and controlled alignment across the pantarsal joint, allowing predictable fusion and long-term limb function. The integrated T4 slot enhances intraoperative flexibility by permitting controlled compression and accurate screw positioning, improving fixation strength across multiple bone segments.

Available in multiple screw diameter combinations including 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.7 mm, 3.5 mm, and 4.5 mm, the plate accommodates a wide range of canine sizes from small to large breeds. This versatility allows surgeons to select the most appropriate configuration based on patient weight, bone quality, and biomechanical demand.

Each plate configuration features a standardized 10-hole design with varying lengths to support optimal screw distribution along the tibia, talus, and metatarsal regions. The contoured profile is anatomically shaped to match the canine hind limb, reducing the need for excessive intraoperative bending and minimizing soft tissue irritation.

Manufactured in both stainless steel and titanium alloy options, the implant offers flexibility in material selection. Stainless steel provides high strength and durability, while titanium offers superior biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and reduced imaging artifacts. Both materials meet veterinary orthopedic implant standards.

Right and left specific designs ensure precise anatomical fit, improving surgical accuracy and postoperative stability. The canine pantarsal arthrodesis plate with T4 slot is a trusted solution for veterinary surgeons seeking reliable fixation, predictable fusion, and long-term functional outcomes.
