Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary clinical indications for this locking plate?
This plate is specifically designed for the correction of flatfoot and valgus deformities, primarily used in transverse osteotomy of the calcaneal neck.
What material is used for the Evans Osteotomy Plate?
The system is manufactured from medical-grade TC4 titanium alloy, offering high strength and excellent biocompatibility.
What screw sizes are compatible with this system?
The system is designed to match 3.5mm self-tapping locking screws, available in lengths ranging from 6mm to 40mm.
How many size options are available for different patient anatomies?
There are three main specifications: Small (26mm), Middle (30mm), and Big (36mm), each with varying step widths and cushion heights.
How does the plate design support bone healing?
The design incorporates parallel openings and an evenly spread structure which promotes bone ingrowth and reduces the risk of non-union at the osteotomy site.
What is the recommended surgical positioning for the plate?
It is clinically recommended to place the osteotomy surface 10-15mm away from the calcaneocuboid joint surface for optimal correction.
