The Patella Cover Plate 35.75mm Width Medium is a specialized orthopedic implant component intended for use in procedures involving the patella. Designed with a 35.75mm width, this medium-size configuration provides a controlled coverage profile that can be selected according to the patient’s anatomy, fracture pattern, surgical objective, and the requirements of the compatible fixation system.
Patellar fixation and reconstruction procedures require careful implant selection because the patella has a relatively small anatomical profile and plays an important role in the extensor mechanism of the knee. A properly selected patella cover plate can provide a structured fixation surface while helping the surgeon maintain appropriate implant positioning during the procedure. The 35.75mm width offers an intermediate sizing option for cases where a medium configuration is appropriate.
This patella cover plate may be used in selected orthopedic applications involving patellar fracture fixation, reconstruction, or stabilization, depending on the specific implant system and its approved indications. Its use should always be determined by a qualified orthopedic surgeon based on radiographic assessment, anatomical dimensions, fracture characteristics, and the manufacturer’s surgical technique.
The medium 35.75mm configuration is particularly useful when implant coverage needs to correspond closely with the available patellar bone surface. Correct sizing is important to help achieve appropriate positioning without unnecessarily extending beyond the intended anatomical area. The plate should therefore be selected together with the compatible fixation components and instrumentation specified for the particular system.
The design of a patella cover plate is intended to support controlled fixation rather than replace proper surgical technique. During implantation, the surgeon should evaluate plate placement, bone quality, fixation position, and the relationship of the implant to surrounding anatomical structures. Compatibility with screws, locking components, or other fixation accessories should be confirmed from the applicable manufacturer documentation before use.
For medical facilities and orthopedic operating rooms, this implant component can be maintained as part of a specialized patellar fixation inventory where different plate sizes are required to accommodate anatomical variation. The 35.75mm medium size provides an additional option between smaller and larger patella cover plate configurations.
Before use, the patella cover plate should be inspected for damage, deformation, surface defects, or other abnormalities. Sterility, packaging, reusability, and sterilization requirements depend on the specific product configuration and manufacturer labeling. Implant components should be handled according to established hospital protocols and applicable orthopedic implant procedures.
The Patella Cover Plate 35.75mm Width Medium is intended for use by qualified healthcare professionals familiar with orthopedic fixation techniques. Proper patient selection, implant sizing, compatible instrumentation, and adherence to the manufacturer’s instructions are essential for appropriate clinical use.

FAQs
1. What is a Patella Cover Plate 35.75mm 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 35.75mm width mean?
The 35.75mm measurement identifies the specified width of the plate and helps surgeons select an appropriate implant size according to the patient’s patellar anatomy.
3. What does Medium indicate on this patella plate?
Medium identifies the size configuration of the plate. The appropriate size should be selected based on anatomical measurements and the applicable surgical system.
4. Can this plate be used for patellar fracture fixation?
It may be used in selected patellar fracture fixation procedures when its design and dimensions are appropriate for the fracture and compatible fixation system.
5. Are screws included with the Patella Cover Plate?
Screws or other fixation components are not 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?
Sizing is determined by the patient’s anatomy, imaging, fracture characteristics, required coverage, and the recommendations of the applicable implant system.
7. Is the Patella Cover Plate reusable?
Implant components are not treated as reusable surgical instruments. Sterility, handling, and use requirements must follow the manufacturer’s labeling and applicable medical facility protocols.
