The Locking Distal Fibula Plates Titanium Grade 5 95 Pcs is a versatile orthopedic implant system designed for fixation of selected distal fibula fractures and other surgical procedures requiring appropriate lateral fibular stabilization. By combining multiple plate lengths, left- and right-sided configurations, and LCP screw options in a single 95-piece system, it provides orthopedic surgical teams with a broad selection of fixation components for different anatomical and operative requirements.

Distal fibula fractures can vary considerably in fracture location, morphology, displacement, bone quality, and associated ankle injury. Having multiple plate configurations available allows the surgeon to select a suitable implant according to the individual patient’s anatomy and the fracture pattern. This system includes 4-hole, 6-hole, 8-hole, and 10-hole distal fibula plates, offering different plate lengths and fixation-point options.

The inclusion of both left (L) and right (R) plates is an important feature for anatomical compatibility. Left- and right-specific plate profiles can help the surgical team select an implant designed for the corresponding side of the distal fibula. Final implant selection should always be based on the patient’s anatomy, radiographic findings, fracture characteristics, surgical approach, and the manufacturer’s approved indications.

The plates are designed as a locking fixation system, using compatible LCP screws to create a plate-and-screw construct according to the specifications of the implant system. Locking plate technology can provide a fixed relationship between compatible screws and the plate when properly assembled. This approach can be particularly useful in orthopedic trauma procedures where stable internal fixation is required and where appropriate screw positioning and plate selection are essential to the surgical objective.

The system is manufactured from Titanium Grade 5, a titanium alloy widely used in orthopedic and surgical implant applications. Titanium Grade 5 provides a favorable combination of strength, relatively low density, and corrosion resistance. Its high strength-to-weight characteristics make it an established material choice for various orthopedic implant designs. Actual mechanical performance depends on the specific plate geometry, manufacturing process, dimensions, and applicable implant specifications.

The 95-piece configuration provides a comprehensive selection of distal fibula plates and LCP screws for surgical inventory management. Multiple plate lengths and bilateral configurations can reduce the need to maintain separate individual product selections for every potential distal fibula fixation requirement. This can be beneficial for orthopedic trauma departments, hospitals, surgical centers, and specialized orthopedic operating rooms.

The 4-hole, 6-hole, 8-hole, and 10-hole options allow different fixation lengths to be selected based on the available bone surface and clinical requirements. Shorter plates may be appropriate for selected fixation situations where fewer shaft fixation points are required, while longer configurations may provide additional options when a greater plate length is clinically indicated. The surgeon should determine the appropriate plate configuration based on fracture pattern, bone quality, anatomical considerations, and the manufacturer’s surgical technique.

Proper screw selection and placement are essential to the performance of any locking plate construct. Only compatible screws and approved instrumentation should be used with the plates. Surgical personnel should confirm implant compatibility, screw dimensions, plate configuration, and instrumentation before implantation.

Before clinical use, each plate and screw should be inspected for damage, deformation, compromised threads, contamination, or other abnormalities. Components should be handled carefully to protect the locking interfaces and screw threads. Cleaning, sterilization, storage, and handling must be performed according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions for use and the healthcare facility’s approved infection-control procedures.

Sterilization parameters should not be determined solely from the fact that the components are made from Titanium Grade 5. The manufacturer’s validated sterilization instructions should always be followed. Proper surgical technique, implant selection, fracture reduction, screw placement, and postoperative management remain essential factors in achieving the intended clinical outcome.

With bilateral left- and right-sided designs, 4–10 hole configurations, compatible LCP screws, and Titanium Grade 5 construction, this Locking Distal Fibula Plate system provides orthopedic professionals with a versatile solution for selected distal fibula fracture fixation and orthopedic trauma applications.

Product Specifications

FAQs

1. What are locking distal fibula plates used for?

Locking distal fibula plates are orthopedic fixation implants designed for selected fractures and stabilization procedures involving the distal fibula. The appropriate plate depends on the fracture pattern, anatomy, bone quality, and surgical technique.

2. What hole sizes are included in this distal fibula plate set?

The system includes 4-hole, 6-hole, 8-hole, and 10-hole distal fibula plate configurations, providing different plate lengths and fixation options.

3. Does the set include left and right distal fibula plates?

Yes. The product is specified with L & R configurations, providing left- and right-sided plate options for corresponding distal fibula anatomy.

4. Are LCP screws included with the plates?

Yes. The product title specifies that the 95-piece system includes LCP screws. Exact screw quantities and dimensions should be verified against the manufacturer’s component inventory.

5. What material are these distal fibula plates made from?

The plates are specified as Titanium Grade 5, a titanium alloy commonly used for orthopedic implant applications due to its strength-to-weight characteristics and corrosion resistance.

6. What does LCP mean in orthopedic plates?

LCP generally refers to a Locking Compression Plate system. Depending on the specific plate design, LCP technology can combine locking screw fixation with other compatible fixation options within the plate.

7. Why are both left and right plates included?

Left- and right-specific plates are designed to correspond to the anatomical differences between the two sides. This allows the surgical team to select a plate configuration appropriate for the affected distal fibula.
