The Locking Distal Fibula Plate (4 & 5 Holes) 2.7 / 3.5 mm with LCP Screws – Titanium Grade 5 (43 Pcs) is a specialized orthopedic fixation system designed to support internal fixation of selected distal fibula fractures and lateral ankle injuries. The set combines locking distal fibula plates with compatible 2.7 mm and 3.5 mm locking compression plate (LCP) screws, providing surgeons with a versatile selection of fixation components for orthopedic trauma procedures.

The distal fibula has a relatively small anatomical profile and plays an important role in ankle stability. A dedicated distal fibula locking plate is designed to provide targeted fixation along the distal portion of the fibula while accommodating the anatomical requirements of the lateral ankle region. The plate configuration should be selected according to fracture pattern, bone quality, patient anatomy, and the manufacturer’s intended surgical technique.

This system includes 4-hole and 5-hole plate configurations, providing different fixation lengths for selected fracture patterns. Multiple configurations allow the surgical team to choose an appropriate plate based on the location and extent of the fracture and the amount of bone available for fixation.

The system incorporates 2.7 mm and 3.5 mm LCP screws. Compatible locking screws engage with threaded plate holes to establish a fixed-angle relationship between the screw and plate. This can provide angular stability and help create a stable fixation construct when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The exact screw trajectory, locking mechanism, and compatibility should always be verified with the supplied system documentation.

The plates and screws are specified as Titanium Grade 5, commonly identified as Ti-6Al-4V. Titanium Grade 5 is widely used in orthopedic implant applications due to its favorable strength-to-weight characteristics, corrosion resistance, and established biocompatibility. Exact material certification and applicable medical-device standards should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s technical documentation.

The 43-piece configuration provides a practical selection of distal fibula plates and compatible locking screws for orthopedic hospitals, trauma centers, surgical facilities, and medical distributors. A multi-component system can simplify implant inventory management and provide surgeons with several fixation options when treating different fracture patterns.

Before implantation, each plate and screw should be inspected for deformation, surface damage, corrosion, compromised packaging, or other defects. Only compatible plates, screws, and surgical instruments should be used together. Implant components should be handled according to the manufacturer’s instructions for use and applicable medical-device requirements.

Implantable plates and screws are generally intended for single-patient use unless the manufacturer explicitly specifies otherwise. Used or compromised implants should not be reused or reprocessed for implantation.

The Locking Distal Fibula Plate System is intended for use by qualified orthopedic and trauma surgeons trained in internal fixation techniques. Plate selection, positioning, fracture reduction, screw placement, and postoperative management should be determined by the surgeon based on the patient’s anatomy, fracture morphology, bone quality, and the manufacturer’s surgical technique.

This system provides a professional solution for facilities seeking a Titanium Grade 5 distal fibula locking plate system with both 2.7 mm and 3.5 mm screw options.
