Y-Shaped Phalangeal Locking Plate

Specification

Description

The Y-Shaped Phalangeal Locking Plate is a titanium alloy internal fixation implant designed for the stabilization of complex phalangeal fractures, particularly those involving bifurcated or multi-fragment distal segments. Its Y-shaped configuration allows for expanded coverage of the distal phalanx or metaphyseal region, enabling effective fixation of multiple small fragments.
This locking plate system is used with locking screws to provide angular stable fixation. The Y-shaped head facilitates multi-directional screw placement, making it especially suitable for fractures requiring precise fragment control and anatomical reconstruction of the finger.

Advantages

Titanium alloy construction: Excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and appropriate strength for small bone fixation
Y-shaped design: Provides extended distal coverage for improved stabilization of multi-fragment fractures
Multi-directional screw placement: Allows effective capture and fixation of small and divergent fragments
Locking screw technology: Ensures angular stability and reduces the risk of fixation failure
Enhanced fragment control: Supports accurate alignment in complex and comminuted fracture patterns
Low-profile structure: Minimizes soft tissue irritation and supports postoperative comfort

Application

Complex phalangeal fractures (proximal, middle, and distal phalanges)
Comminuted fractures with multiple small fragments
Intra-articular phalangeal fractures
Fractures requiring multi-point distal fixation
Osteoporotic small bone fractures
Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) procedures

FAQ

Q1: What is the benefit of the Y-shaped plate design?
A1: The Y-shape allows wider distal coverage and multiple screw trajectories, improving fixation of small or multiple fracture fragments.
Q2: Is this plate suitable for intra-articular fractures?
A2: Yes. It is commonly used in intra-articular and comminuted 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, providing strength, durability, and excellent biocompatibility for small bone fixation.
