Lesser Toe: Complete Plantar Plate Repair Without Osteotomy Through a Dorsal Approach

In this video, Edward S. Holt, MD (Annapolis, MD), demonstrates the Complete Plantar Plate Repair System without the use of a metatarsal-shortening osteotomy. Approach, osteotomy techniques, suture passage with the CPR Viper™ suture passer, tensioning, and postoperative management are discussed.

The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during the healing period and is not intended as a replacement for the native ligament. The InternalBrace technique is for use during soft tissue-to-bone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.
