120° Arc Plate 2.0mm

Key Features and Benefits of the 120° Arc Plate 2.0mm

The 120° Arc Plate 2.0mm T: 1.0mm offers exceptional strength, precision, and adaptability for complex bone reconstructions. Its unique 120-degree arc shape, combined with increased thickness, provides superior stability and support in demanding surgical scenarios. The plate’s low profile minimizes tissue disruption, while its titanium construction ensures biocompatibility and durability. This innovative implant is ideal for challenging procedures requiring precise bone alignment and robust fixation, particularly in areas with significant curvature.

Indications for T Locking Plate 1.5mm

The 120° Arc Plate 2.0mm T: 1.0mm is indicated for a variety of orthopedic and maxillofacial surgical procedures requiring enhanced stability and support, particularly in areas with pronounced bone curvature. Key indications include:

• Complex Fractures: Stabilization of complex facial and cranial fractures with significant curvature, such as zygomatic arch and orbital floor fractures.
• Orthognathic Surgery: Correction of jaw discrepancies and malocclusions involving extensive bone repositioning and fixation in areas with pronounced curvature.
• Craniomaxillofacial Trauma: Management of complex facial trauma with significant bone loss or displacement in areas requiring support for curved bone structures.
• Onlay bone grafting: Support of bone grafts in areas with significant bone curvature.
• Osteotomy: Stabilization of curved bone segments during osteotomy procedures for corrective bone alignment.

How a 120° Arc Plate 2.0mm Works

The 120° Arc Plate 2.0mm T: 1.0mm is designed to provide precise and robust support in complex bone reconstructions involving significant curvature. Its unique 120-degree arc shape allows for optimal adaptation to specific bone contours, offering exceptional stability and support. The plate’s increased thickness of 1.0mm provides enhanced strength, while the 2.0mm width ensures a wider contact area for improved load distribution. The plate is secured to the bone using screws, creating a rigid framework that promotes bone healing and restoration of normal function.

FAQ

Q1: What is a 120° Arc Plate?

A 120° Arc Plate is a medical implant specifically designed with a 120-degree arc shape for precise bone fixation and support in areas with significant curvature.

Q2: What do the numbers “2.0mm T: 1.0mm” signify in the plate?

The “2.0mm” refers to the width of the plate, while “T: 1.0mm” indicates the thickness of the plate.

Q3: What material is typically used for 120° Arc Plates?

120° Arc Plates are commonly made from titanium due to its biocompatibility, strength, and resistance to corrosion.

Q4: What are the primary applications of a 120° Arc Plate?

120° Arc Plates are used in orthopedic and maxillofacial surgery for complex fractures, bone reconstructions, and procedures requiring support for curved bone structures.

Q5: How is the 120° Arc Plate secured to the bone?

The plate is typically secured to the bone using screws designed for this purpose. These screws are inserted through pre-drilled holes in the plate and into the bone.

Q6: What are the advantages of using a 120° Arc Plate compared to straight plates?

The 120° Arc Plate offers superior adaptability to curved bone surfaces, resulting in a more secure and stable fixation compared to straight plates.

Q7: Is the 120° Arc Plate a permanent implant?

In most cases, the 120° Arc Plate is designed as a permanent implant to provide long-term support and stability to the bone. Removal is typically considered only in specific circumstances.

Q8: Can the 120° Arc Plate be customized to fit specific patient anatomy?

While standard sizes are available, some manufacturers may offer customization options to fit specific patient anatomy and surgical requirements.

Q9: What is the typical recovery time after surgery involving a 120° Arc Plate?

Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the surgery and the individual patient. However, the use of a thicker plate can contribute to increased stability and potentially faster healing.

Q10: Are there any risks associated with using a 120° Arc Plate?

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks such as infection, implant failure, or allergic reactions. However, these risks are generally low when the implant is used correctly and post-operative care is followed.
