As a curved plating option in the Gorilla® Universal Plating System, the Trap Plate was created to take advantage of the geometric benefits of strength. A trapezoid is able to provide a very stable construct that has an advantage in medial column procedures. With multiple sizes available, the Gorilla® Universal Trap Plate can be used for the 1st tarsometatarsal joint, the naviculocuneiform joint, and the talonavicular joint along the medial column, as well as in a calcaneocuboid arthrodesis. Four sizing options give the surgeon variability in plate placement and function.
