The Locking Proximal Medial Tibia Plate 3.5mm SS 316L is an orthopedic fixation system designed for stabilization of appropriately selected fractures involving the proximal medial tibia. Its anatomical plate configuration is intended to provide fixation along the medial aspect of the proximal tibia while compatible locking screws create an angular-stable relationship between the plate and screw.

Proximal tibial fractures can present complex fixation challenges because of the metaphyseal anatomy, varying bone quality, fracture comminution, and proximity to the knee joint. A specialized proximal medial tibia locking plate can provide a dedicated fixation option when medial stabilization is required. Plate selection and surgical approach should be determined according to fracture morphology, patient anatomy, bone quality, soft-tissue condition, and the surgeon’s treatment plan.

The plate is available in 4-, 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-hole configurations, providing multiple options for fixation length and screw distribution. Shorter configurations may be appropriate for selected fracture patterns requiring a more limited fixation span, while longer plates can provide additional fixation points along the tibial shaft when clinically indicated. The appropriate plate length should be selected based on the fracture characteristics and required fixation construct.

The system uses 3.5 mm screws, as specified in the product title. Compatible locking screws are designed to engage the threaded plate holes and establish an angular-stable connection. Depending on the complete system configuration, the plate may incorporate locking and/or conventional screw positions. Exact hole geometry and screw compatibility should always be confirmed through the manufacturer’s technical documentation.

Manufactured from SS 316L stainless steel, the plate provides corrosion resistance and mechanical durability characteristics suitable for appropriate orthopedic implant applications. SS 316L is a low-carbon stainless steel commonly used in medical devices where corrosion resistance and material reliability are important. The precise implant-grade specifications, mechanical properties, dimensions, and surface finish should be confirmed through the manufacturer’s documentation.

The included 3.5 mm screws provide compatible fixation components for the plate system. Correct screw length and trajectory are important when working around the proximal tibia because inappropriate screw placement can potentially affect adjacent anatomical structures or the knee joint. Screw length should be selected based on the patient’s anatomy, plate position, and the applicable surgical technique.

The 57-piece selection provides multiple plate configurations and associated screws for orthopedic trauma departments, hospitals, surgical centers, and medical implant suppliers. Maintaining a range of hole configurations allows surgical teams to select an appropriate implant according to the fracture pattern and required fixation length.

The locking plate concept can provide angular stability and may be useful in selected fractures with metaphyseal comminution or compromised bone quality. However, locking technology does not replace accurate fracture reduction, appropriate plate positioning, correct screw selection, and sound surgical technique. The final construct should be planned using appropriate preoperative imaging and intraoperative assessment.

The plate should be positioned according to the manufacturer’s recommended surgical technique. Compatible drill guides, drills, depth gauges, screwdrivers, and other instrumentation should be used as applicable. The plate should not be bent, modified, or otherwise altered unless the manufacturer specifically permits such manipulation, because uncontrolled modification may compromise implant integrity or locking performance.

All implants should be handled carefully to avoid contamination, scratching, bending, or damage to the locking interface. Sterility, packaging, storage, and processing requirements depend on the product configuration and manufacturer labeling. Reusable surgical instruments should be cleaned, inspected, packaged, and sterilized according to validated healthcare-facility procedures.

With 4–12 hole configurations, 3.5 mm screw compatibility, SS 316L construction, and a 57-piece selection, the Locking Proximal Medial Tibia Plate system provides a versatile orthopedic fixation option for appropriately selected proximal medial tibial fracture procedures.

Product Specifications

FAQs

1. What is a Locking Proximal Medial Tibia Plate?

A Locking Proximal Medial Tibia Plate is an orthopedic implant designed to stabilize appropriately selected fractures of the proximal medial tibia. It uses compatible locking screws to create an angular-stable fixation construct.

2. What hole configurations are available?

The system includes 4-, 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-hole configurations, providing multiple options for plate length and fixation requirements.

3. What size screws are used with this plate?

The product is specified for 3.5 mm screws. Exact screw lengths and locking specifications should be confirmed through the manufacturer’s product documentation.

4. What material is the plate made from?

The plate is manufactured from SS 316L stainless steel, a low-carbon stainless steel commonly used in medical and orthopedic applications because of its corrosion resistance and mechanical durability.

5. What is the purpose of a medial proximal tibia plate?

The plate is designed to provide fixation along the medial aspect of the proximal tibia for appropriately selected fractures. It can provide support and screw fixation around the proximal tibial metaphysis and shaft.

6. What is the benefit of locking fixation?

Locking screws engage threaded plate holes to create an angular-stable relationship between the screw and plate. This can be useful in selected fracture patterns where stable fixation is required, including some metaphyseal fractures.

7. What fractures can this plate be used for?

It may be considered for appropriately selected proximal tibial fractures involving the medial side of the proximal tibia. Final implant selection depends on fracture morphology, bone quality, patient anatomy, imaging, and surgeon assessment.

8. How many pieces are included?

The product is supplied as a 57-piece selection consisting of proximal medial tibia plates and compatible 3.5 mm screws.
