Description
Key Features:
- Anatomical Design: The plate is contoured to match the specific anatomy of the proximal lateral tibia, ensuring optimal fit and stability.
- 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.
- Material: The plate is typically made of titanium, a biocompatible material known for its strength and corrosion resistance. The TT (Titanium Treated) indicates a specific surface treatment to enhance biocompatibility and osseointegration.
- Multiple Configurations: The plate comes in various configurations with different hole patterns and lengths to accommodate diverse fracture patterns and surgical approaches. It is available in left and right versions to match the specific anatomy of each side.
- Hole Capacity: The plate can accommodate 5, 7, 9, 11, or 13 screws, depending on the specific configuration.
Potential Uses:
- Fracture Repair: The plate is used to stabilize fractures of the proximal lateral tibia, including:
- Tibial plateau fractures
- Fibular fractures
- Osteotomy: It can also be used to hold bone fragments in place after an osteotomy (surgical bone cutting) in the proximal tibia region.
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.
