The Locking One Third 3.5mm Plates, 4–12 Holes with LCP Screws, Titanium Grade 5 – 61 Pieces is an orthopedic fixation system designed for internal stabilization of suitable fractures where a narrow, low-profile locking plate is clinically appropriate. The set combines multiple 3.5mm locking one-third tubular-style plate configurations with compatible locking compression plate (LCP) screws, providing a versatile selection for orthopedic trauma procedures.

The plates are available in 4-hole through 12-hole configurations, allowing surgeons to select different plate lengths according to the fracture pattern, anatomical location, available bone stock, and desired fixation span. Multiple hole configurations can be particularly useful when different fracture characteristics require different plate lengths or screw distribution.

The locking plate design is intended for use with compatible 3.5mm LCP screws. A locking screw engages with the threaded portion of the plate hole, creating a fixed-angle connection between the screw and plate. When appropriately selected and positioned, this type of fixation can provide angular stability within the construct.

The screws are specified as Titanium Grade 5, a titanium alloy commonly used in orthopedic implant applications because of its strength, corrosion resistance, and relatively low density. The exact material properties and implant specifications should be verified against the manufacturer’s technical documentation before clinical use.

One-third plates are designed with a relatively narrow profile and may be appropriate for selected anatomical regions where a smaller plate footprint is advantageous. Depending on the exact plate geometry and manufacturer indication, these plates may be used for fixation of suitable fractures involving the forearm, ankle, clavicle, or other areas where this type of plate is clinically indicated. Anatomical suitability should always be assessed by a qualified orthopedic surgeon.

The 61-piece configuration provides a consolidated selection of plates and LCP screws, making it suitable for hospitals, trauma centers, orthopedic departments, surgical clinics, and medical equipment distributors. A multi-size set can help streamline implant selection and inventory management while providing multiple fixation options for different procedures.

Proper plate positioning, screw trajectory, screw length, and number of screws must be determined according to the patient’s anatomy, fracture morphology, bone quality, and applicable surgical technique. Only compatible instruments and fixation components should be used with the system.

The implant components should be handled in accordance with applicable medical-device requirements. Sterility depends on the product’s supplied condition and packaging. If supplied non-sterile, processing must follow validated manufacturer instructions and institutional protocols. Implantable components should not be reused unless specifically designed and validated for reuse.

The exact anatomical application must be determined by a qualified orthopedic surgeon based on the patient’s anatomy and clinical indication.

FAQs

1. What is a locking one-third plate?

A locking one-third plate is a relatively narrow orthopedic fixation plate designed for selected fracture fixation applications. Compatible locking screws engage with threaded plate holes to create a fixed-angle construct.

2. What size are these plates?

The system is specified as a 3.5mm locking plate system with 4–12 hole configurations.

3. What material are the screws made from?

The screws are specified as Titanium Grade 5.

4. How many pieces are included?

The product contains 61 pieces, including the locking plates and compatible LCP screws.

5. What does LCP mean?

LCP stands for Locking Compression Plate. LCP systems use compatible locking screws that engage with threaded plate holes.

6. Where can one-third plates be used?

Depending on the specific plate design and manufacturer indication, they may be suitable for selected fractures involving areas such as the forearm, ankle, clavicle, and other appropriate anatomical sites.

7. Can any 3.5mm screw be used?

No. The screw must be compatible with the specific plate’s thread design, dimensions, and locking mechanism. Only approved compatible components should be used.

8. Are the plates and screws sterile?

Sterility depends on the supplied product configuration and packaging. Always verify the manufacturer’s sterility status and follow applicable processing requirements before clinical use.
