This system enables surgeons to restore normal foot anatomy by realigning and fusing the bones in four different dimensions through small incisions.

It is a technically demanding operation that requires a surgeon to simultaneously hold small bones in three-dimensional alignment while inserting surgical hardware to maintain the positioning. Surgical assistants are frequently required to manage the procedure. "Our design surgeons mentioned the need for more hands during a Lapidus", says Chad Hollis, CrossRoads VP of Research & Development, "Our challenge was designing simple instrumentation to solve this multi-dimensional problem. Additionally, we recognized that Lapidus is actually a four-dimensional procedure. Not only should the bones be aligned, but they must be compressed together to ensure a solid fusion. Thankfully, we have a proven Staple Compression Plate™ technology that neatly addresses that fourth dimension."
