Straight Locking Plate 1.5mm

Key Features of Reconstruction Locking Plate 1.5mm

• Minimally Invasive Design: The plate’s 1.5mm profile minimizes disruption to surrounding soft tissues during surgery. This translates to faster patient recovery and reduced post-operative pain.
• Robust Locking Mechanism: Despite its slim profile, the plate features a secure locking mechanism for exceptional stability of bone fragments during reconstruction procedures. This promotes optimal healing and minimizes the risk of postoperative complications like implant failure or malunion.
• Precise Realignment: The plate’s design allows for precise manipulation and positioning of bone fragments, facilitating accurate anatomical reconstruction.
• Biocompatible Materials: Manufactured from high-quality, biocompatible materials, the plate minimizes the risk of allergic reactions and implant rejection. This ensures long-term implant stability and patient comfort.
• Versatility in Applications: The plate’s adaptability makes it suitable for a wide range of reconstruction surgeries. Its secure fixation capabilities are valuable for various bone procedures requiring precise realignment and stable healing.

Benefits of Reconstruction Locking Plate 1.5mm

• Enhanced stability for optimal bone healing and long-term outcomes.
• Minimally invasive approach for faster patient recovery and reduced pain.
• Precise re-alignment of bone fragments for accurate reconstruction.
• Biocompatible design for long-term implant stability and patient comfort.
• Cost-effective solution for various orthopedic reconstruction procedures.

Indications for Reconstruction Locking Plate 1.5mm

Bone Fractures with Complexities:

• Displaced or Comminuted Fractures: For fractures with significant displacement or fragmentation of bone fragments, the plate’s secure locking mechanism ensures stable fixation, facilitating proper bone alignment and healing.
• Malunions: In cases where initial fracture healing has resulted in improper bone alignment (malunions), the plate can be used during corrective surgeries to achieve precise realignment and stable fixation for optimal bone union.

Bone Deformity Correction:

• Osteotomies: This plate can be valuable in osteotomy procedures where controlled bone cutting is performed to correct bone deformities. The plate’s secure fixation helps maintain the newly created bone alignment during healing.
• Nonunions: In situations where fractured bones fail to heal completely (nonunions), the plate can be used during revision surgeries to provide robust fixation and promote bone healing.

Joint Reconstruction Procedures:

• Certain Joint Fusion Procedures: In specific cases of joint fusion surgery where stable fixation of bone fragments is necessary, the plate’s low profile and strong locking mechanism can contribute to a successful outcome.

How does a Reconstruction Locking Plate 1.5mm work

Functional Design:

• Low-Profile & Minimally Invasive: The plate’s slim 1.5mm profile allows surgeons to access and manipulate bone fragments with minimal disruption to surrounding soft tissues. This facilitates a minimally invasive surgical approach, promoting faster patient recovery.
• Secure Locking Mechanism: The plate features dedicated locking holes that accept specialized locking screws. These screws engage securely with the plate’s locking threads, creating a robust construct that maintains stable fixation of the bone fragments. This minimizes movement at the repair site, which is crucial for optimal bone healing and proper alignment.
• Biocompatible Material: The plate is crafted from high-quality, biocompatible materials to minimize the risk of allergic reactions and implant rejection. This ensures long-term implant stability and patient comfort.

Applications in Bone Repair:

By providing stable fixation and minimizing movement at the fracture or surgical site, the Reconstruction Locking Plate 1.5mm promotes bone healing in several ways:

• Facilitates Bone Formation: When bone fragments are held securely in place, it allows for proper bone cell growth and formation of new bone tissue across the fracture line.
• Promotes Blood Supply: Stable fixation minimizes disruption to surrounding blood vessels, ensuring adequate blood flow to the healing bone. This is vital for delivering essential nutrients and oxygen for bone repair.
• Reduces Pain and Improves Function: Minimizing movement at the repair site reduces post-operative pain and allows for earlier mobilization and physiotherapy, which can further enhance healing and functional recovery.

FAQ

1. What are the advantages of the Reconstruction Locking Plate 1.5mm compared to other reconstruction plates?
