Abstract:
Described herein are methods and devices for the correction and reduction of bone deformities, such as metatarsus primus adductus, using a tethering technique which does not require drilling into the stable bone. In some embodiments, a bone plate has an elongate plate body and wings extending laterally from the plate body. The wings may be configured to generally follow the circumferential contours of the bone when placed on the bone in use. The bone plate can further include means for positioning cerclage material on the bone plate such that the cerclage material extends circumferentially over the wings rather than on the bone, thereby reducing the total contact area between the cerclage material and the bone.
