The latest medical device to be added to the FootandAnkleFixation.com database is the Gramedica osteo-Wedge plate. There has been very little information released up to this point regarding the new plate other than that it is used in correcting met primus varus, particularly in Hallux Abducto Valgus: Opening Base Wedge procedures. Initial press releases on the implant were made public back in July of 2011 and within the last few months, two amusing you tube videos have been released promoting the new product. It’s in the second video titled “osteo-Wedge part Deux” where we get a first glimpse of the new plate. The plate is oblong in nature with 4 proximal screws and 3 distal.
With the new implant portrayed as the ultimate solution for bunion correction in these promotional videos, it will be interesting to see if it offers any new technology or advancements in regards to correcting severe bunion deformities. We will eagerly await the release of more information on the plate and will bring you our unbiased review once we get a chance to try it ourselves. For now though, you can visit the osteo-Wedge product page on FootandAnkleFixation.com to see the video premiers of the plate.
