Distal Lateral Tibial Locking Plate-II

What is Distal Lateral Tibial Locking Plate?

The 3.5 mm Distal Lateral Tibial Locking Plate are part of the CZMEDITECH Locking Compression Plate (LCP®) System, merging locking screw technology with conventional plating techniques. These anatomically shaped 3.5mm plates are available in stainless steel or titanium alloy with 5-13 hole configurations.

Plate Features:

• Distal locking screws provide support for the articular surface

• Targeted locking for Volkmann’s triangle and the Chaput fragment

• Anatomically shaped

• Shaft holes accept 3.5 mm locking screws, 3.5 mm cortex screws and 4.0 mm cancellous screws

• Head holes accept 3.5 mm locking screws, 2.7 mm and 3.5 mm cortex screws and 4.0 mm cancellous screws

• 60º twist in shaft is contoured for the distal tibia anatomy

• Tapered tip for submuscular insertion

• 316L stainless steel or titanium alloy

• 60°twist in the shaft is contoured for the distal tibia anatomy: less plate contouring is required.

• Anatomic reduction: Anatomic plate profile and four parallel screws near the joint assist reduction of metaphysis to diaphysis to restore alignment and functional anatomy. Anatomic reduction is mandatory for intra-articular fractures to restore joint congruency.

• Stable fixation: The combination of conventional and locking screws offers optimum fixation regardless of bone density.

• Preservation of blood supply: Limited-contact plate design reduces plate-to-bone contact and helps to preserve the periosteal blood supply.

Indications:

The 3.5 mm LCP Anterolateral Distal Tibia Plate is indicated for fractures, osteotomies, and nonunions of the distal tibia, particularly in osteopenic bone.
