One 4-Legged BME ELITE One Plate Implant Locking Ti Midfoot EL-2520S4 Compression Plate

The BME ELITE® Continuous Compression Implants were compared to the following constructs: locking titanium midfoot

compression plates, with and without 4.0mm lag screws, and crossing 4.0mm screws. These fixation combinations are

commonly used in various arthrodesis sites. Compression measurements were taken using Tekscan® pressure maps placed

between bicortical Sawbone® blocks. Measurements were taken before and after repetitive loading of 100 cycles at

2mm displacement.

Constructs using the BME ELITE Implants provided significantly more compression than a locking titanium midfoot

compression plate with and without a 4.0mm lag screw and crossing 4.0mm lag screws.

CONSTRUCT RIGIDITYConstruct rigidity, shown by the amount of force required to displace the constructs 2mm, was tested using a four-point bending apparatus. Measurements were taken for the first and 100th cycle of repetitive loading.

BME ELITE 4-leg Implants were tested against a leading locking titanium midfoot plate. The graph to the right shows the results.

TORSIONAL STABILITYTorsional stability is the amount of force required to torque the constructs 15 degrees. Fixation combinations simulated arthrodesis of the talonavicular joint. Measurements were taken for the first and 100th cycle of repetitive loading.

Two BME ELITE 4-leg Implants in parallel were tested against a locking titanium midfoot compression plate with and without a 4.0mm lag screw. The graph to the right shows the results.
