Distal Tibial Wing-Shaped Locking Plate

Specification

Description

The Distal Tibial Wing-shaped Locking Plate is a titanium alloy internal fixation implant specifically designed for complex distal tibia fractures. Its distinctive wing-shaped configuration provides extended coverage of the metaphyseal region, allowing for multi-directional screw placement and enhanced fixation around the distal tibia.
This locking plate system is engineered to support angular stable fixation using locking screws, making it particularly suitable for fractures involving the tibial plafond and comminuted patterns. The anatomical design helps achieve stable reconstruction while maintaining alignment near the ankle joint.

Advantages

Titanium alloy construction: Ensures excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and high mechanical strength
Wing-shaped design: Expands fixation coverage in the distal tibial metaphysis for improved stability
Multi-directional screw options: Allows flexible screw placement to capture small fracture fragments
Locking plate technology: Provides angular stability, especially in complex or osteoporotic fractures
Enhanced fragment control: Ideal for managing comminuted and intra-articular fracture patterns
Anatomical contouring: Improves fit and reduces need for intraoperative plate modification

Application

Distal tibial fractures (extra-articular and intra-articular)
Tibial pilon fractures (tibial plafond injuries)
Comminuted distal tibia fractures with multiple fragments
Metaphyseal fracture fixation requiring extended plate coverage
Osteoporotic distal tibial fractures
Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) procedures

FAQ

Q1: What is the advantage of a wing-shaped plate design?
A1: The wing-shaped structure increases fixation area and allows multiple screw directions, improving stability in complex fractures.
Q2: Is this plate suitable for intra-articular fractures?
A2: Yes. It is commonly used in distal tibial intra-articular fractures where precise fragment fixation is required.
Q3: What material is used in this implant?
A3: The plate is made from medical-grade titanium alloy, offering strength, durability, and excellent biocompatibility for internal fixation.
