Product IntroductionThe lateral proximal tibia locking plate (L-shape) is engineered for anatomical fixation of lateral tibial plateau fractures. Its 20° conical threaded locking holes deliver angular stability via a fixed‑angle screw‑plate construct without requiring plate‑to‑bone compression. The pre‑contoured, low‑profile geometry and polished rounded edges reduce soft tissue irritation. The system accepts cortical, locking and cannulated screws with optimized thread profiles for cortical and cancellous bone fixation.
Features- Anatomically contoured L‑shape conforms to the lateral proximal tibia with smooth, rounded edges.
- 20° conical threaded locking holes provide fixed‑angle stability with compatible locking screws.
- Self‑tapping screw options facilitate insertion without pre‑drilling where clinically indicated.
- Color‑anodized surface option for improved corrosion resistance and implant identification.
- Multiple screw options (ball‑head, conical‑thread, cannulated) for compression and locking applications.
- Optimized thread geometry tailored to screw diameter and bone quality.
- Titanium construction available in TA3G pure titanium or TC4 titanium alloy.
Advantages- Angular stability: 20° conical locking mechanism provides a stable fixed‑angle construct for fracture fixation.
- Reduced soft tissue irritation: low‑profile, polished design minimizes implant prominence under soft tissues.
- Versatile fixation: compatible with locking, non‑locking and cannulated screws to address varied clinical scenarios.
- Preserved periosteal blood supply: locking fixation reduces the need for plate compression against bone.
- Optimized screw‑bone interface: thread profiles support purchase in both cortical and cancellous bone.
Indications- Internal fixation of lateral tibial plateau fractures, including Schatzker types I–III.
- Proximal tibial metaphyseal‑diaphyseal junction fractures.
- Multifragmentary or osteoporotic tibial plateau fractures.
- Proximal tibial fracture‑dislocations.
