Basal Osteotomy / Open Wedge
The Basal Osteotomy plates come in left and right configurations and are only 1.0mm thick to accommodate the limitations of the soft tissue envelope of the medial column.
Three wedge sizes allow a range of opening angles, whereas the 0mm (no wedge) plate facilitates the fixation of closing osteotomies. All screw holes allow usage of Ø3.0mm or Ø3.5mm, locking and non-locking screws.

The Airlock® Ø3.0mm and Ø3.5mm locking and non-locking screws may be used in all Airlock plate fixation holes; however, the compression holes only accommodate Ø3.0mm non-locking screws. A Nexis Ø4.0mm headless compression screw of appropriate length may be used for additional plantar compression. All instrumentation is conveniently organized and color coded (see below).
