Restore. Reshape. Rebuild.
Flatfoot deformity encompasses a host of soft tissue abnormalities at the posteromedial and plantar foot, and is characterized by a collapse of the medial longitudinal arch.1, 2 During the course of the disease, surgical procedures, such as medial cuneiform opening wedge osteotomy, calcaneal lateral column lengthening osteotomy, or a calcaneal medial/lateral sliding osteotomy, may become necessary.
The APTUS Mid- and Hindfoot System 2.8/3.5 offers surgeons the tools to reshape misalignments, restore the anatomy, and rebuild a functional and stable foot to find the best solution for their patients. A wide range of implants and sizes enables to address patients requirements.

Designed to Simplify
Laminar Spreader
- Designed for controlled distraction
- The integrated ratchet mechanism securely locks the spreader in place
Self-Holding Drill Sleeve
- Can be locked in the TriLock contour of the plate in the selected angle
- Multidirectional ± 15°
- Enables single-handed drilling
K-Wire Spreader
- Achieve controlled and precise distraction with the K-Wire Spreader
- Designed for use with 1.6 mm or 2.0 mm K-wires
- The integrated ratchet mechanism locks the spreader in place
Trial Wedge
- Trial wedge can be inserted into the open osteotomy to determine the required wedge width
- The scale provides the measurements, with the “small” end indicating the widths of small wedges and the “large” end indicating the widths of large wedges
- The specified wedge width corresponds to the width of the closed wedge surface.
Designed to organize.
- Completely modular
- Compact system
- Easy to handle
- Clear storage overview of implants and instruments
- Validated cleaning and sterilization
