Description
Key Features:
- Size: The plate is 2.7mm thick, making it suitable for small bone applications.
- 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.
- 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, or 5 holes.
Potential Uses:
- Fracture Repair: The plate is used to stabilize fractures in small bones, such as those in the hand, foot, and wrist.
- 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.
