The Locking Distal Fibula Plates (8, 10 & 12 Holes) Left & Right with LCP Screws are advanced orthopedic fixation implants used for the treatment of fractures involving the distal fibula near the ankle joint. These plates are anatomically pre-contoured to match the natural shape of the fibula, ensuring accurate fit, stable fixation, and proper restoration of ankle alignment.
The distal fibula is essential for ankle stability and weight-bearing function. These plates provide strong biomechanical support for simple, comminuted, and osteoporotic fractures while helping maintain fracture reduction throughout the healing process.
The system includes compatible LCP (Locking Compression Plate) screws that securely lock into the plate, creating a fixed-angle construct that enhances stability and reduces the risk of screw loosening. This locking mechanism is especially beneficial in weak bone and complex fracture conditions.
Available in 8, 10, and 12-hole configurations, the plates offer flexibility for different fracture patterns and patient anatomy. Separate left and right anatomical designs ensure proper contouring and optimal surgical placement on each side of the body.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade titanium or stainless steel (depending on configuration), the implants provide excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. Precision-engineered screw holes allow accurate screw placement and reliable fixation performance.
These implants are widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery and veterinary orthopedic procedures for ankle and distal limb fracture management.
The system is fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
