4D Advanced Bunion Correction
Compared to Treace’s Lapiplasty System 2 biplanar plating implant construct, Fusion’s LapiLock U-Plate implant performed 261% greater in total cycles, and 120% greater in load failure. The key findings supporting the superiority of Fusion's U-Plate are shown below.
The results below suggest that Fusion’s LapiLock PolyLock U-Plate implant may provide a more robust and durable solution for TMT (tarsometatarsal) joint fusion, with better performance in both static strength and dynamic endurance compared to Treace’s Lapiplasty System 2 biplanar plating implant construct.
*The PolyLock U-Plate is one of 13+ fixation options used in conjunction with LapiLock 4D Advanced Bunion CorrectionThe independent study, "Evaluation of Fusion’s TMT fusion plate," compares the biomechanical performance of Fusion’s LapiLock U-Plate implant versus Treace’s Lapiplasty System 2 biplanar plating implant construct. It's important to note that the study's conclusions are based on specific testing conditions and methodologies and should be considered within the context of the study's scope and limitations. The study was conducted by an independant testing facility. The comprehensive report is on file at Fusion Orthopedics.
Frontal Plane Correction .
Our proprietary arch allows surgeons to derotate and hold the sesamoids in their anatomically correct position under the Crista.
IM Correction.
By turning the blue dial clockwise a surgeon is able to reduce the intermetatarsal (IM) angle.
Plantar/Dorsal Flexion .
The green screw allows a surgeon to adjust the planter/dorsal flexion of the first ray.
Compress & Distract.
The gold dial allows a surgeon to compress or to distract the TMT joint.

Metatarsal Positioner.
If needed, this positioner allows a surgeon to "pull" the metatarsal base medially creating an inner space between the first and second metatarsal bases.
Y.O.C.O.
"You only cut once" in a controllable manner by using our lapidus Y.O.C.O. blade. The blade aims to: (i) remove a minimal amount of bone material and (ii) achieve ideal bone on bone apposition.
