A ulna plate is a type of orthopaedic implant used to stabilize and support fractures or deformities in the ulna bone, which is one of the two long bones in the forearm (the other being the radius). These plates are surgically fixed to the bone using screws and are used to maintain proper alignment and [...]
Flexible Mesh Plate is a type of implant used in fracture fixation or reconstructive surgeries, particularly in areas where standard rigid plates may not conform well to the bone’s natural shape or where custom shaping is required. Key Features of Flexible Mesh Plate Mesh (Grid) Structure Design: The plate consists of a lattice-like structure with [...]
Orthopedic implants are medical devices used to support or replace damaged bones or joints, typically in cases of trauma, degenerative diseases, or congenital conditions. These implants are designed to restore function, improve mobility, and relieve pain. Here’s a detailed exploration of orthopedic implants: Types of Orthopedic Implants Joint Replacement Implants These implants are used [...]
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used by orthopedic surgeons to diagnose and treat joint problems. It involves inserting a small, fiber-optic camera called an arthroscope into a joint through a small incision. The camera transmits images to a monitor, allowing the surgeon to view the joint structures in detail and perform necessary surgical [...]
Small fragment implants are orthopedic devices designed for the fixation of fractures in smaller bones, such as those in the clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, pelvis, distal tibia, and fibula. These implants are essential in treating osteotomies, nonunions, and small bone fractures, providing stability and facilitating proper bone healing. Types of Small Fragment Implants Small [...]
Introduction to Variable Angle Plates Variable angle plates are advanced orthopaedic implants designed for fracture fixation, particularly in complex bone fractures. They allow surgeons to choose a screw trajectory within a certain range, rather than being restricted to a fixed trajectory, which is crucial for anatomical fit, biomechanical stability, and individualized patient treatment. Design and [...]
A pediatric hip system refers to a specialized set of implants, instruments, and surgical techniques designed for the treatment of hip disorders in children and adolescents. These systems are used in orthopedic surgery to address developmental, congenital, traumatic, and neuromuscular conditions affecting the hip joint. Indications for Use Pediatric hip systems are utilized in various [...]
A cable plating system is an advanced orthopedic fixation technique that combines cables and plates to stabilize fractures, particularly in challenging cases such as periprosthetic fractures, comminuted fractures, and osteoporotic bone conditions. This system is particularly useful when traditional screw fixation alone may not be sufficient due to poor bone quality or complex fracture patterns. [...]
Spine implants are medical devices used to treat a variety of spinal conditions, including deformities, degenerative diseases, fractures, and trauma. They provide structural support, stability, and alignment to the spine, often aiding in the healing process or improving functionality and quality of life. Purpose of Spine Implants Stabilization: To stabilize the spine after injury, surgery, [...]
The Locking Medial Distal Tibia Plate is a specialized orthopedic implant used primarily in the surgical treatment of fractures of the distal (lower) third of the tibia. It belongs to a category of implants known as locking compression plates (LCPs) and is commonly used for internal fixation of complex fractures, especially those that are intra-articular, [...]
