The Patella Cover Plate 34.7mm Width Small is a specialized orthopedic implant component intended for procedures involving the patella. With a specified width of 34.7mm, this small-size configuration provides a more compact coverage option for patellar anatomy requiring a smaller implant profile.
Patellar fixation requires careful consideration of anatomical dimensions, fracture characteristics, bone quality, and the intended fixation technique. A properly selected patella cover plate can provide a structured surface for fixation while supporting controlled implant positioning during orthopedic procedures. The 34.7mm small configuration may be selected when the patient’s patellar dimensions are better suited to a smaller plate than medium or larger alternatives.
Depending on the compatible implant system and its approved indications, this patella cover plate may be used in selected applications involving patellar fracture fixation, reconstruction, or stabilization. The exact indication should be determined by a qualified orthopedic surgeon after appropriate clinical and radiographic evaluation. Implant selection should follow the manufacturer’s surgical technique and system-specific recommendations.
The 34.7mm width is an important sizing characteristic when evaluating implant coverage. Selecting the appropriate plate size can help the surgeon achieve suitable positioning relative to the patellar bone surface. Because anatomical dimensions vary between patients, the small configuration should be selected based on the patient’s anatomy and the requirements of the specific surgical procedure rather than size designation alone.
The plate is intended to work within a compatible orthopedic fixation system. If screws, locking components, or other fixation accessories are required, their dimensions and compatibility should be confirmed using the applicable manufacturer documentation. Components from unrelated fixation systems should not be assumed to be interchangeable.
During surgery, proper implant positioning and fixation are essential. The surgeon should evaluate the plate’s relationship to the patella and surrounding structures and confirm that the selected configuration is appropriate before final fixation. Appropriate surgical instruments and technique should be used according to the relevant system instructions.
For orthopedic operating rooms and medical facilities, the Patella Cover Plate 34.7mm Small can provide a dedicated sizing option within a patellar fixation inventory. Maintaining multiple plate sizes can help accommodate anatomical variation and different clinical requirements.
Before use, the implant should be inspected for visible damage, deformation, contamination, or other abnormalities. Sterility, packaging, handling, and implant-use requirements depend on the specific product configuration and manufacturer labeling. All implantation procedures should be performed by appropriately trained healthcare professionals following established surgical protocols.

FAQs
1. What is a Patella Cover Plate 34.7mm used for?
It is an orthopedic implant component intended for selected patellar fixation, reconstruction, and stabilization procedures, depending on the compatible implant system.
2. What does 34.7mm width mean?
The 34.7mm measurement identifies the specified width of the plate and is used when selecting an implant configuration appropriate for the patient’s patellar anatomy.
3. What does Small mean on this patella cover plate?
Small refers to the plate’s size configuration. The appropriate size should be determined from anatomical measurements and the requirements of the applicable fixation system.
4. Can this plate be used for patellar fracture fixation?
It may be suitable for selected patellar fracture fixation procedures when its dimensions, design, and compatible fixation system are appropriate for the clinical situation.
5. Are fixation screws included with the plate?
Screws or other fixation components should not be assumed to be included unless specifically stated in the product configuration. Compatibility should be confirmed before use.
6. How is the correct patella plate size selected?
The surgeon considers patient anatomy, imaging, fracture characteristics, required coverage, and the recommendations of the applicable implant system when selecting the appropriate size.
7. Is this patella cover plate reusable?
Implant components should be handled according to the manufacturer’s labeling and are not treated like reusable surgical instruments. Sterility and use requirements should be confirmed before implantation.
