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 [...]
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, [...]
A Locking Compression Plate (LCP) Radius Fixed Angle Plate is a specialized orthopedic implant designed to stabilize fractures of the radius bone in the forearm, particularly in the distal region near the wrist. Here's a detailed overview of its key features and applications: Design and Structure: Material: Typically made from titanium or stainless steel, ensuring [...]
Locking plates are often utilized in the treatment of osteoporotic fractures due to their ability to provide stable fixation in bones with poor quality or reduced density, such as those affected by osteoporosis. Osteoporosis weakens bones, making them more prone to fractures, and traditional fixation methods may not provide adequate stability. Locking plates differ from [...]
