Although we are unaware of any arthrodesis failures using plates omitting a fourth tarsal bone screw, cadaveric studies by Loic Dejardin have shown that the additional screw adds significantly to construct stiffness. Surgeons requesting custom plates also tend to prefer them with the extra hole. We now also have a range of pantarsal plates with T4 slot. The slot provides flexibility over screw position and angulation enabling good engagement with the fourth tarsal bone in almost all cases.
The feline pantarsal arthrodesis plate has a 120˚ angulation. Although 2.0mm screws are a better fit, 1.5mm screws can also be used distally.
