MMI Anchorage Cross Plates for MPJ and Lapidus Arthrodesis

MMI has posted online their new Anchorage Cross Plating System for 1st MPJ arthrodesis and Lapidus arthrodesis. These plates are the first of their kind that incorporate the ability to place a lag compressive screw through the plate when performing an arthrodesis. As one high executive put it, "these plates are a game changer in the field of foot and ankle surgery."




I don't know about you, but I'm eager try out these new plates to see if they work as good as they look. It will be nice to have a guided compressive screw without the constant problem of interfering with crossing screws that are placed through the plate, as is the case with the current plating options.

You can read more about these new plates as well as other products offered by MMI at the following links:
