Wright Medical Group N.V.12.08.17
Wright Medical Group N.V. announced that it built on its robust foot and ankle portfolio with the availability of the ORTHOLOC 3Di Small Bone Plating System, providing clinicians with a low profile, comprehensive plating solution designed to address metatarsal fractures.
The ORTHOLOC 3Di Small Bone Plating System provides a new level of surgical flexibility and performance through a broad range of plating options that include low-profile utility plates, three different fifth metatarsal fracture plates, and a proprietary pinch plate designed to facilitate distal metatarsal osteotomies and fractures. Over 55,000 forefoot fractures occur each year and approximately half occur at the 5th metatarsal. An increasing incidence of osteoporotic bone in an aging population is expected to lead to a 10.5 percent average annual procedural growth rate.1,2
“The ORTHOLOC 3Di Small Bone Plating System combines low profile and anatomically contoured plates with the versatility of 2.0 or 2.4 variable angle locking screws,” said Dr. Christopher Hyer, Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Center, Westerville, Ohio. “This set is the definitive forefoot trauma tray in my operating room.”
Key benefits of the ORTHOLOC 3Di Small Bone Plating System include:
“The ORTHOLOC 3Di Small Bone Plating System is an excellent example of Wright Medical’s commitment to providing new, innovative solutions for foot & ankle pathologies,” said Guy Guglielmino, vice president, lower extremities global marketing, Wright Medical. “This system not only offers utility plates for addressing a variety of indications, but it also enhances adaptability by offering plate options designed specifically for more challenging fracture patterns.”

Key benefits of the ORTHOLOC 3Di Small Bone Plating System include:
- The capability to address variations in anatomy and fracture patterns—ORTHOLOC 3Di variable angle locking screw technology allows for customized screw trajectories paired with rigid, locked fixation.
- Reduced likelihood of soft-tissue irritation and patient discomfort—plates feature Type II anodization that allow for a thinner profile without compromising strength.3
- Increased intraoperative flexibility—system includes 3 different plates designed to address 5th metatarsal fractures, a variety of utility plates and a proprietary pinch plate that can ease fixation of metatarsal neck fractures and segmental shortening osteotomies.
