Description
Key Features:
- Size: The plate is 3.5mm thick, making it suitable for a range of applications.
- Material: The plate is typically made of stainless steel, a common material used in orthopedic implants due to its strength and biocompatibility.
- Shape: The plate has a T-shape, with a vertical stem and a horizontal arm. This unique design allows for versatile fixation in various anatomical locations.
- Locking Screw Technology: The plate is designed to be used with locking screws. These screws have a special thread that engages with the plate, preventing them from backing out and providing a secure fixation.
- Multiple Configurations: The plate comes in various configurations with different hole patterns to accommodate diverse fracture patterns and surgical approaches. It is available in sizes with 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 holes.
Potential Uses:
- Fracture Repair: The plate is used to stabilize fractures in various bone locations, including the distal radius, ulna, and tibia.
- Osteotomy: It can also be used to hold bone fragments in place after an osteotomy (surgical bone cutting) in these areas.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Stability: The locking screw technology provides excellent stability and reduces the risk of implant failure.
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: The plate can often be inserted through a smaller incision, leading to less trauma and faster recovery.
- Improved Bone Healing: The plate promotes bone healing by providing a stable environment for the fracture site.
