Plantar Soft-tissue Augmentation
The plantar fat pad, made up of mooring ligaments and columnar fat at the sub-metatarsal pads and/or heel pads,
protects and cushions the underlying bone, tendons and neurovascular structures of the foot. With any number of
traumatic events, including multiple surgical incisions, fractures, or chronic metatarsal plantar flexion, this
plantar fat pad can become displaced or atrophied. This often results in a painful plantar weight bearing surface
that can lead to callus or ulceration. Plantar soft-tissue augmentation using GRAFTJACKET® Matrix covers and protects
the underlying soft tissues and bone.
