See full text

The invention provides a plantar plate repair device to facilitate the appropriate placement of sutures during a plantar plate repair. The device comprises a shaft terminating in a footprint projecting angularly from the shaft, the footprint further defining an opening through which a needle is threadable. The shaft further includes a guide slidable on the shaft to operatively clamp the plantar plate between the guide and footprint. A needle receiving guide hole is provided on the guide to operatively guide a needle through the opening in the footprint to pass a length of suture from the needle through the plantar plate.
