The Medial Distal Tibia Locking 3.5mm Plates L/R with Screws are specialized orthopedic fixation systems used for the treatment of fractures involving the distal tibia near the ankle joint. These plates are anatomically pre-contoured for left and right tibial anatomy, ensuring precise fit, stable fixation, and restoration of proper lower limb alignment.
The system is commonly used for distal tibial fractures including metaphyseal, periarticular, comminuted, and extra-articular fracture patterns. The medial positioning of the plate provides excellent support along the inner aspect of the tibia while minimizing disruption to surrounding soft tissues.
The locking compression plate (LCP) technology allows 3.5mm locking screws to securely engage within the plate holes, creating a fixed-angle construct that enhances mechanical stability, reduces screw loosening, and maintains fracture reduction during healing. This is particularly beneficial in osteoporotic bone and complex fracture conditions.
The low-profile anatomical design helps reduce soft tissue irritation around the ankle while maintaining strong biomechanical support for early mobilization and improved healing outcomes.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel or titanium (depending on configuration), the implants provide excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term biocompatibility. Precision-machined holes ensure accurate screw placement and dependable surgical performance.
These implants are widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery and veterinary orthopedic procedures for distal tibial fracture fixation.
The set is fully sterilizable and supplied in professional surgical packaging for safe handling and efficient operating room workflow.
