DARCO MFS

Locked plating system for reconstructive forefoot surgery

System Basics

The DARCO MFS plating system for the forefoot has been designed in close

collaboration with internationally renowned surgeons to address the specific needs

of reconstructive foot and ankle surgery. After many years of iterative research and

development, the resulting product is highly refi ned for treatment of challenging

forefoot disorders.

All implants are manufactured to exacting standards from Titanium Alloy in our German

facility. The system has been designed to take advantage of the many benefits of fixed-

angle locked screw fixation.

Implant Design

All plates in the system are rhombic (parallelogram) in form, with converging pairs

of 2.7mm screw holes. Every screw hole in every plate may receive either

a locked or a non-locked screw, at the surgeons discretion. The holes are aligned to

provide optimal screw purchase through screw convergence. The individual plate

geometries vary to suit specific surgical indications.

Locked plating fixation is enabled through a rigid mechanical connection between

screw and plate. In this system, the head of the screw has an external thread that

matches the internal thread in the plate holes.

The following guidelines should be followed with locked plating systems:

• The plates may be contoured to better fit anatomy. All contouring should be

performed with the Locking Drill Guides threaded into the appropriate screw holes

to prevent deformation of the holes. Plates should be bent in one direction only;

do not unbend after initial contouring.

• Ensure that joint surfaces are properly debrided prior to application of the implants.

• Joints and osteotomies should be properly reduced and compressed prior to

application of a locking plate. In particularly demanding applications, placement

of an interfragmentary compression screw should be considered prior to

placement of the locking plate.

• Locked screws are useful in a number of situations. Generally, they provide better

fi xation in soft bone and stiff en the overall fusion construct between plate and

bone.

• Locked screws have a pre-defi ned trajectory. Locking drill guides should always be

used to pre-drill locked screws to ensure that the screws mate properly with the

plate.

• Care must be taken with plate positioning so that locked screws are not directed

into adjacent functioning joints or other hardware. In this case, non-locked screws

may be used to redirect around the off ending joint or hardware.

• Locked screws maintain the relative positions of plate and bone; they cannot

be used to lag the plate to the bone. If the plate must be brought into close

apposition with underlying bone, a non-locked screw should be used.
