The implants of the Alians Ulna range are intended for ulnar shortening osteotomies in adults
TECHNICAL FEATURES
Monoaxial locking system
Rack-and-pinion compression device
Stabilization transfixation screw / compression screw
Low-profile locking plate
IMPLANT TECHNICAL FEATURES
- Anatomically contoured implant: the edges and tips of the implant are rounded to minimize soft tissue irritation.
- Marks appearing on the implant :
Proximal and distal ends
Graduations for checking compression level
Monoaxial fixation
• Ø3.5 mm standard cortical screw for proximal oblong hole (CT3.5Lxx)
• Ø3.5 mm locking screw (SOT3.5Lxx)
• Ø2.8 mm standard cortical screw for pre-angled central hole (CT2.8Lxx): stabilization screw
• Ø2.8 mm lag screw for pre-angled central hole (QBT2.8Lxx) : compression screw
MONOAXIAL LOCKING SYSTEM
Features
- The threaded sections under the screw head and inside the hole have strictly the same characteristics (1) :
Cylindrical internal thread profile,
Cylindrical external thread profile,
- Screw head cap (2),
- Plate and screw made from the same material: titanium alloy.
Results
- Low profile construct:
The screw head reaches a mechanical stop in the slot, insuring the locking (3),
The screw head is buried in the plate.
- Construct limiting the risk of cold welding
- Construct allowing an optimized coaptation of both profiles when locking (4).
