Tibial Distal Medial Combinated Locking Plate

Key Features and Benefits of the Tibial Distal Medial Combined Locking Plate

Our Tibial Distal Medial Combined Locking Plate is designed to provide optimal stability and support for complex distal tibial fractures. The plate’s unique combination of locking and non-locking screws offers unparalleled versatility, allowing for precise fracture fixation and bone healing. The anatomical contour of the plate ensures a secure fit while minimizing soft tissue irritation. Crafted from high-grade biocompatible materials, the plate promotes bone ingrowth and delivers exceptional strength and durability. This innovative implant is designed to accelerate patient recovery and enhance overall clinical outcomes.

Indications for the Tibial Distal Medial Combined Locking Plate

The Tibial Distal Medial Combined Locking Plate is indicated for the treatment of a wide range of fractures involving the distal tibia. This versatile implant is designed to address complex fracture patterns, including:

• Tibial Pilon Fractures: The plate provides exceptional stability and support for fractures involving the distal tibial articular surface.
• Ankle Fractures: The plate can be utilized in the management of complex ankle fractures involving the distal tibia.
• Nonunions and Malunions: The plate’s ability to promote bone healing and provide robust fixation makes it suitable for treating nonunion and malunion cases in the distal tibia.
• Open Tibial Fractures: The plate’s design allows for effective management of open fractures involving the distal tibia, while minimizing soft tissue damage.
• Polytrauma with Tibial Fractures: As part of a comprehensive treatment plan, the plate can be used to stabilize distal tibial fractures in patients with multiple injuries.

How Does a Tibial Distal Medial Combined Locking Plate Work?

The Tibial Distal Medial Combined Locking Plate is designed to provide stability and support for complex fractures of the distal tibia. The plate’s anatomical contour ensures optimal fit and load distribution, minimizing soft tissue irritation. The combination of locking and non-locking screws offers versatility in addressing various fracture patterns. The locking screws prevent implant migration, while the non-locking screws provide flexibility for screw placement. By distributing load across the plate and engaging with the bone, the implant stabilizes the fracture site and promotes bone healing. Over time, the bone integrates with the plate, creating a strong and durable union.

FAQ

Q1: What is a Tibial Distal Medial Combined Locking Plate?

A: A Tibial Distal Medial Combined Locking Plate is an orthopedic implant designed to stabilize fractures of the distal medial tibia. It combines both locking and non-locking screws for versatile fixation.

Q2: What are the key benefits of this type of plate?

A: The key benefits include enhanced stability, accelerated bone healing, reduced risk of implant failure, and versatility in treating various distal medial tibial fractures.

Q3: How does the locking mechanism work?

A: The locking mechanism prevents screw backout, ensuring secure fixation and promoting bone ingrowth. This enhances stability and reduces the risk of implant migration.

Q4: What types of fractures is this plate indicated for?

A: The plate is suitable for a wide range of distal medial tibial fractures, including pilon fractures, ankle fractures, and complex fracture patterns.

Q5: What materials are typically used for the plate?

A: Common materials include titanium and stainless steel, chosen for their biocompatibility, strength, and corrosion resistance.

Q6: How does the plate promote bone healing?

A: The plate’s design often incorporates features like porous coatings or surface treatments to encourage bone ingrowth, accelerating healing and creating a strong bone-implant interface.

Q7: Is the plate suitable for minimally invasive surgery?

A: Many plate designs are low profile to facilitate minimally invasive surgical techniques, reducing soft tissue trauma and improving patient recovery.

Q8: What is the difference between this plate and other tibial plates?

A: The combination of locking and non-locking screws, along with the plate’s anatomical design, offers greater versatility and adaptability compared to traditional tibial plates, allowing for more complex fracture management.

Q9: How long is the typical recovery period after surgery using this plate?

A: Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the fracture and individual patient factors. However, the plate’s design can contribute to faster healing and earlier weight-bearing.

Q10: Can the plate be removed after the bone has healed?

A: In most cases, the plate is designed to remain in place permanently. However, removal may be considered in specific circumstances, such as if complications arise or if the plate is no longer needed.
