Product IntroductionThe Finger Locking Plate (Type II) is a low-profile osteosynthesis plate for angularly stable fixation of phalangeal and other small-bone fractures. Anatomical contours, rounded edges and a polished low-profile surface are designed to reduce soft-tissue irritation. The plate features 20° conical locking holes compatible with solid (Type I) and cannulated (Type II) locking screws; cortical compression holes accept hemispherical-headed screws for eccentric axial compression.
Materials and ApplicationMaterials: TA3G commercially pure titanium or TC4 titanium alloy. Application: internal fixation of phalangeal fractures, metacarpals, selected clavicle and small‑bone pelvic indications.
Features- 20° Conical Locking Interface: Tapered threads in plate holes engage matching screw heads to provide rigid angular stability.
- Self-Tapping Screw Blades: Sharp cutting edges facilitate insertion and reduce insertion torque.
- Anodized Surface Finish: Colored anodic oxidation improves corrosion resistance and visual identification.
- Hemispherical Cortical Screw Heads: Allow eccentric insertion into compression holes to produce controlled axial compression.
- Anatomical Low-Profile Contour: Plate profiles contoured for phalanges and related sites to minimize soft-tissue interference.
Advantages- Secure Angular Fixation: Rigid plate–screw–bone construct without plate-to-bone compression.
- Improved Initial Stability: Serrated edges and self-tapping threads enhance grip during fixation.
- Reduced Soft-Tissue Impact: Low-profile, rounded design minimizes tendon and skin irritation.
- Preserves Periosteal Blood Supply: Locking principle avoids compression of plate onto bone.
- Versatile Sizing: Multiple lengths and configurations for various small-bone indications.
Indications- Phalangeal (digital) fractures
- Metacarpal fractures
- Clavicle fractures (selected configurations)
- Small‑bone pelvic ring fixation (selected cases)
