An article comprises a unitary plate configured to conform to a foot of a patient. The plate has a dorsal portion shaped to conform to a dorsal surface of a medial column of the foot and a plantar-medial portion shaped to conform to a medial surface of a first metatarsal of the foot and extend to a plantar surface of the first metatarsal. The plantar-medial portion is integrally attached to the dorsal portion. The plate has a plurality of apertures for receiving screws. The apertures include: a plurality of first apertures through the dorsal portion, adapted to receive a respective one or more first screws to be inserted into a dorsal surface of a talus of the foot, and at least one second aperture adapted to receive a second screw inserted through a plantar end of the plantar-medial portion into a first metatarsal of the foot.
