Product Overview
The proven angle-stable system for hallux valgus correction
MetaFix™ I is a fixed-angle osteosynthesis system designed for medial stabilisation of mild to severe Hallux valgus through modified proximal chevron osteotomy, as developed by Dr. med. Diedrich W. Haesen, Fleetinsel Clinic of Hamburg. Angle stability is achieved through a fixed connection between the plate and the screws.
