Distal Fibula Plate TT

£100.00

Size: The plate appears to be 3.5mm 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 shape designed to match the anatomy of the distal fibula bone. It has a long, straight portion that runs along the lateral side of the fibula, and a shorter, curved portion that extends towards the medial side. This shape provides stability and support to the distal fibula.
Holes: The plate has evenly spaced holes along its length, which are likely used for securing the plate to the bone with screws.
Locking Mechanism: The plate is likely designed to be used with locking screws, as indicated by the larger oval-shaped holes. These screws have a special thread that engages with the plate, preventing them from backing out and providing a more secure fixation.
