The MT T-shape Locking Plate is an anatomically optimized implant designed for the internal fixation of fractures and osteotomies in the metatarsals and small bones of the midfoot. Its "T" configuration is specifically engineered to provide broad transverse support across the head or base of a bone, which is critical for stabilizing "cross-wise" breaks or ensuring the alignment of surgical bone cuts. Manufactured from high-strength Titanium Alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI), the plate offers an ideal balance of stiffness and biocompatibility. The system utilizes Locking Technology, allowing screws to be fixed at a precise angle to the plate. This creates a rigid "internal fixator" construct that prevents bone fragments from collapsing or shifting, even in the high-stress environment of the weight-bearing foot. The TOOLMED MT T-shape plate features an ultra-low profile and tapered edges to protect the delicate soft tissues and tendons on the top of the foot, ensuring a comfortable recovery and a high rate of successful bone union.

Product Description
The "T" head allows for multiple screws to be placed horizontally across the widest part of the bone. This is superior to straight plates for fractures located very close to a joint surface.
Locking technology ensures that the plate and screws act as a single unit. This prevents screws from loosening in "spongy" (cancellous) bone, providing reliable stability during the healing process.
Designed with a thickness optimized for the foot, the plate sits flush against the bone surface, reducing the risk of "hardware prominence" that can cause discomfort in shoes.
Grade 5 medical titanium provides excellent fatigue resistance and is completely biocompatible, minimizing the risk of metal sensitivity or adverse tissue reactions.
Specifically designed for fractures at the end of the long bones of the foot where a wide "buttress" is needed.
Used to fuse small joints in the midfoot that have become painful due to arthritis or old injuries.
The gold standard for stabilizing the bone after corrective cuts to fix bunions or other foot deformities.
Provides stable fixation across the midfoot joints to restore the arch after a severe ligamentous injury.

The bones in your foot are wider at the ends (near the joints) and narrower in the middle. The T-shape design matches this anatomy perfectly. It spreads the support across the wide part of the bone, which is essential for preventing the bone from tilting or collapsing when you start walking again.
Traditional screws rely on "squeezing" the plate against the bone. In the foot, where bones can be soft, those screws can sometimes wiggle loose. Locking screws actually bolt into the plate itself. This means they cannot move, creating a super-stable "internal splint" that stays tight until the bone is fully healed.
Biomechanically, your metatarsals are the "levers" you use to push off the ground when you walk. The T-shape plate is designed to handle these repetitive pushing forces. By stabilizing the head of the metatarsal, it ensures your weight is distributed evenly across your foot, preventing pain in your other toes.
The surgeon makes a small incision on the top of the foot. The plate is positioned so the "cross" of the T sits over the broken end of the bone. Because the plate is low-profile, it fits under the tendons without rubbing. Once the screws are locked in, the bone is immediately stable, often allowing for earlier movement than if a cast were used alone.
Because the TOOLMED plate is so thin and made of titanium, it is very "friendly" to your body. Once the initial healing is finished, most patients can return to wearing their normal shoes. The plate is so slim that you shouldn't be able to feel it through your skin, and it is designed to stay in your foot for the rest of your life.
The MT T-shape Locking Plate provides surgeons with a reliable, anatomically focused solution for complex foot fractures. Its combination of broad support and locking strength ensures that patients can recover their mobility and return to their daily activities with a stable, well-aligned foot.
Usually not. Titanium is non-magnetic and the plates are very small. Most airport scanners will not detect them, and they are completely safe for MRI scans.
Most metatarsal fractures take about 6 to 8 weeks to heal significantly. The plate provides 100% of the stability during this time so you can start rehabilitation sooner.
While it is designed to stay in forever, it can be removed if it causes any irritation once the bone is completely healed (usually after 12 months). However, most people never feel the need to remove it.
Yes, T-shape plates are frequently used for certain types of bunion corrections (osteotomies) where the surgeon needs to stabilize the end of the first metatarsal after moving it into a straighter position.
Once the bone is fully healed and your doctor gives you the "all clear," the plate is strong enough to handle high-impact activities like running and sports.
