The present disclosure generally relates to fixation plates for use in
correcting Hallux Valgus deformities under the Lapidus approach. The
plate includes holes defined therethrough in such a way to facilitate
multiplanar stability across the metatarsocuneiform joint. The plate is
further sized and shaped to approximate the natural anatomic contour of
the bone segments surrounding the metatarsocuneiform joint. Related
methods for using the Lapidus approach to correct Hallux Valgus
deformities are also described.
