Phalangeal Support Locking Plate

Specification

Description

The Phalangeal Support Locking Plate is a titanium alloy internal fixation implant designed for stable fixation of phalangeal fractures in the hand. It is developed to provide structural support for small bone segments, particularly in cases where maintaining alignment and preventing fragment displacement are critical.
This locking plate system features a low-profile, anatomically adaptable design that minimizes soft tissue irritation while ensuring effective stabilization. Used in combination with locking screws, it provides angular stable fixation, making it suitable for both simple and moderately complex phalangeal fracture patterns.

Advantages

Titanium alloy construction: Excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and reliable strength for small bone fixation
Support-oriented design: Provides stable structural support to maintain alignment of phalangeal fragments
Low-profile configuration: Reduces soft tissue irritation and improves patient comfort
Locking screw system: Ensures angular stability and reduces the risk of fixation loss
Adaptable to anatomy: Can be contoured intraoperatively to fit different phalangeal shapes
Facilitates functional recovery: Supports stable fixation to allow early mobilization when clinically appropriate

Application

Phalangeal fractures (proximal, middle, and distal phalanges)
Simple and moderately comminuted finger fractures
Fractures requiring additional structural support
Osteoporotic small bone fractures
Hand surgery and trauma fixation procedures
Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF)

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between a support plate and a reconstruction plate?
A1: A support plate is primarily designed to maintain alignment and provide structural stability, while a reconstruction plate offers more flexibility for contouring in complex fracture patterns.
Q2: Is this plate suitable for small bone fixation?
A2: Yes. It is specifically designed for phalangeal bones, with a low-profile structure to minimize soft tissue irritation.
Q3: What material is used in this implant?
A3: The plate is manufactured from medical-grade titanium alloy, ensuring strength, durability, and excellent biocompatibility.
