Size: The plate is 2mm thick, making it a relatively thin plate suitable for use in smaller bones or delicate areas.
Material: The plate appears to be made of titanium, a common material used in orthopedic implants due to its strength and biocompatibility. The blue color is likely due to a coating or treatment applied to the plate.
Shape: The plate has a distinctive Y-shape, with a central stem and two branches extending outwards. This shape is designed to provide stability and support in areas where a simple straight plate might not be sufficient.
Holes: The plate has evenly spaced holes along its length, which are likely used for securing the plate to the bone with screws.
Fracture Repair: The Y-plate is commonly used for the repair of fractures in areas where a more complex fixation is required, such as the distal radius or the distal tibia.
Osteotomy: It can also be used to hold bone fragments in place after an osteotomy (surgical bone cutting) in these areas.
Additional Information:
Manufacturer: The plate is manufactured by Healix International, a company specializing in medical devices.
