Multi-Axial Tibia Proximal Medial Locking Plate II

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

• Precise Fracture Reduction and Fixation: The plate’s 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 Proximal Medial Locking Plate

• Complex Medial 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 plateau.
• 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.
• Osteoporotic Fractures: In patients with weakened bones due to osteoporosis, the Multi-Axial Tibia Proximal 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.

The Multi-Axial Tibia Proximal Medial Locking Plate: Functionality Explained

The Multi-Axial Tibia Proximal Medial Locking Plate offers a unique approach to stabilizing medial proximal tibial fractures, particularly those involving the inner aspect of the knee joint. Here’s a breakdown of its functionality:

Precise Fracture Reduction and Secure Fixation:

Surgeons utilize the plate’s multiple screw holes and innovative locking mechanisms to achieve optimal alignment and reduction of the fractured bone fragments on the medial side of the tibia. The multi-directional control allows for precise positioning of the fragments, promoting optimal healing and minimizing the risk of future complications.

Enhanced Stability Through Multi-Axial Locking:

Once the fracture reduction is achieved, dedicated locking screws are inserted into designated slots within the plate. These screws engage securely with the plate, creating a robust construct that minimizes the risk of fracture displacement during the healing process. The multi-axial locking mechanism allows surgeons to fine-tune the angle of screw placement, further enhancing stability and accommodating the specific fracture pattern.

Minimally Invasive Approach:

The plate’s design facilitates a minimally invasive surgical technique. Surgeons can utilize smaller incisions to access the fracture site and implant the plate. This reduces damage to surrounding soft tissues and blood vessels, leading to faster patient recovery, reduced post-operative pain, and a quicker return to function.

Biocompatible Materials:

The plate is constructed from high-quality biocompatible materials that are well-tolerated by the body. This minimizes the risk of allergic reactions and implant rejection, allowing the bone to heal undisturbed and promoting long-term implant stability.
