Fibula compression plate 31231

distallaterallocking

Overview: This Distal Fibular Locking Plate (REF 31231) is an anatomically pre‑contoured Ti‑6Al‑4V implant designed for rigid internal fixation of lateral malleolus and distal fibula fractures. The plate follows the natural twist and curvature of the distal lateral leg and integrates an LCP combi‑hole shaft to provide multi‑planar angular stability close to the ankle, including in osteoporotic bone.

Key Technical Features:

• Anatomically flared distal head: Curved cluster of locking screw holes angled to maximize purchase in small lateral malleolus fragments while avoiding joint penetration.
• LCP combi‑hole shaft: Hybrid combination holes along the shaft allow intraoperative use of dynamic axial compression and fixed‑angle locking within the same construct.
• Low‑profile with beveled edges: Ultra‑thin plate profile and rounded borders reduce hardware prominence and minimize soft‑tissue and tendon irritation at the ankle.
• Limited‑contact underside: Undercuts on the bone‑facing surface preserve periosteal blood flow and support bone healing and remodeling.

Clinical Indications:

• Fractures of the distal fibula and lateral malleolus (Weber types A, B and C).
• Comminuted or unstable distal fibular fractures, including osteoporotic bone.
• Non‑unions, malunions and corrective osteotomies of the distal fibula.
