Multi-Axial Tibia Distal Medial Locking Plate I

Key features and benefits of the Multi-Axial Tibia Distal Medial Locking Plate

• Precise Fracture Reduction and Fixation: The unique design allows for multi-directional angular control during surgery. This facilitates the precise alignment and reduction of complex fracture fragments, minimizing the risk of displacement and promoting optimal healing.
• Enhanced Stability with Secure Locking: Dedicated locking screws engage with the plate’s designated slots, creating a robust and stable construct. This minimizes micromotion at the fracture site and optimizes the healing process.
• Minimally Invasive Surgical Approach: Designed for minimally invasive surgical techniques, the plate reduces damage to surrounding soft tissues and blood vessels. This translates to faster patient recovery, reduced post-operative pain, and improved long-term function.
• 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.
• Streamlined Surgical Workflow: The user-friendly design allows for efficient surgical application. Easy-to-use locking mechanisms and a comprehensive instrumentation set enable surgeons to focus on the critical aspects of the procedure.

Indications for Multi-Axial Tibia Distal Medial Locking Plate

• Complex Distal Tibial Fractures: The plate’s ability to provide multi-directional angular control makes it ideal for stabilizing complex fractures with multiple bone fragments or significant displacement. This includes minimally displaced fractures where precise alignment is crucial, as well as more severe fractures involving the medial tibial plafond.
• Fractures with Comminution: The plate’s secure locking mechanism effectively stabilizes even fragmented bone pieces. This allows for successful healing even in challenging cases where traditional fixation methods may not be sufficient, particularly for comminuted fractures on the medial side of the joint.
• Open Fractures: The minimally invasive nature of the plate placement with this system minimizes further soft tissue disruption compared to traditional open surgery techniques. This can be particularly beneficial for open fractures where additional soft tissue damage should be avoided.
• Osteoporotic Fractures: In patients with weakened bones due to osteoporosis, the Multi-Axial Tibia Distal Medial Locking Plate provides a robust fixation solution. The secure locking mechanism minimizes the risk of screw pullout, allowing for successful fracture healing even in compromised bone quality.
• Revision Surgeries: The plate’s versatility allows for its use in revision surgeries where previous fixation attempts may have failed. Its multi-axial locking mechanism offers additional options for addressing implant loosening or inadequate stability encountered in prior procedures, particularly if they involved the medial aspect of the distal tibia.

FAQ

1. What types of distal tibial fractures is the plate suitable for?

The Multi-Axial Tibia Distal Medial Locking Plate offers a versatile solution for a wide range of distal tibial fractures, particularly those involving the inner aspect of the joint (medial side). This includes complex fractures, minimally displaced fractures, fractures with comminution, open fractures, osteoporotic fractures, and even revision surgeries.

2. What are the advantages of the Multi-Axial Tibia Distal Medial Locking Plate over traditional locking plates?

The Multi-Axial plate offers superior multi-directional angular control, leading to enhanced stability and minimized risk of fracture displacement compared to traditional plates. Additionally, its design facilitates a minimally invasive surgical approach.
