The Locking Straight Plates 2.7mm with LCP Screws Titanium are orthopedic fixation plates designed for stabilization of appropriately selected fractures where a compact 2.7 mm locking plate system is indicated. The straight plate configuration provides a linear fixation platform, while compatible locking compression plate (LCP) screws are designed to engage with the plate’s locking holes to create an angular-stable fixation construct.

A 2.7 mm locking plate system is particularly suited to selected small-bone and anatomically constrained fracture fixation applications where a lower-profile implant may be preferred. The straight configuration can provide flexibility in positioning along relatively linear bone surfaces. The specific anatomical application should always be determined according to the plate dimensions, fracture pattern, patient anatomy, bone quality, and manufacturer’s approved indications.

The plates are available in 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, 9-, 10-, 11-, and 12-hole configurations, providing a broad selection of plate lengths and fixation points. Different hole counts allow the surgical team to select an appropriate construct based on fracture length, available bone stock, and the desired distribution of fixation screws.

The system is designed for compatible 2.7 mm LCP screws. Locking screws engage the threaded portion of compatible plate holes to establish a fixed-angle relationship between the screw and plate. This angular stability can help maintain screw orientation within the fixation construct and may be beneficial in appropriately selected fractures.

Manufactured from titanium, the plates provide material characteristics commonly valued in orthopedic implant applications. Titanium offers a favorable strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and established biocompatibility characteristics. The exact titanium grade, mechanical properties, surface treatment, and dimensional specifications should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s technical documentation.

The included 2.7 mm LCP screws provide compatible fixation components for the plates. Correct screw length and placement are essential for achieving appropriate bone purchase without unnecessary penetration beyond the bone. Screw selection should be based on bone dimensions, fracture location, plate position, and the applicable surgical technique.

The 86-piece selection provides multiple plate lengths and screw configurations for orthopedic trauma facilities, hospitals, hand surgery units, reconstructive surgery centers, and medical implant suppliers. A broad range of hole counts allows the surgical team to select a plate appropriate to the required fixation span.

The straight plate design may be useful for selected fractures where a linear plate configuration is anatomically appropriate. It should not be assumed to be suitable for every fracture or anatomical location. The surgeon should select the implant after appropriate imaging and clinical assessment, considering fracture morphology, bone quality, soft-tissue condition, and the required fixation strategy.

Proper plate placement, drilling, screw selection, and insertion technique are important for construct performance. Compatible drill guides, drills, depth gauges, and screwdrivers should be used according to the manufacturer’s surgical technique. The plate should not be bent or modified unless specifically permitted by the manufacturer, as improper modification can compromise the locking holes or mechanical integrity of the implant.

The plates and screws should be handled carefully to prevent contamination, scratching, deformation, or damage to the threaded locking interface. Sterility and packaging 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 2.7 mm sizing, 4–12 hole configurations, compatible 2.7 mm LCP screws, titanium construction, and an 86-piece selection, these Locking Straight Plates provide a versatile option for appropriately selected orthopedic fracture fixation procedures requiring a compact angular-stable plating system.

Product Specifications

FAQs

1. What are Locking Straight Plates used for?

Locking Straight Plates are orthopedic fixation implants designed to stabilize appropriately selected fractures where a straight plate configuration and locking screw technology are suitable.

2. What does 2.7 mm mean?

The 2.7 mm designation identifies the specified plate and screw system size. It is commonly associated with compact fixation systems for selected small-bone and anatomically constrained orthopedic applications.

3. What hole configurations are available?

The product includes 4- through 12-hole configurations, providing multiple plate lengths and fixation options.

4. What screws are compatible with these plates?

The product is specified for 2.7 mm LCP screws. Only screws with the correct diameter, thread, head design, and locking interface should be used with the corresponding plate.

5. What material are the plates made from?

The plates are manufactured from titanium, which offers favorable strength-to-weight characteristics, corrosion resistance, and established use in orthopedic implant applications.

6. What is an LCP screw?

An LCP screw is designed to engage a compatible threaded locking plate hole. When correctly inserted, the screw head locks into the plate and forms an angular-stable fixation construct.

7. What is the advantage of a straight locking plate?

A straight locking plate provides a simple linear fixation configuration that can be useful where the anatomy and fracture pattern allow a relatively straight plate position.

8. How many pieces are included?

The product is supplied as an 86-piece selection consisting of titanium locking plates and compatible 2.7 mm LCP screws.

9. Are these plates suitable for every small-bone fracture?

No. Implant selection depends on the anatomical site, fracture morphology, bone quality, soft-tissue condition, and the manufacturer’s approved indications. A qualified orthopedic surgeon should determine the appropriate fixation method.

10. Can the plate be bent during surgery?

Plate bending or modification should only be performed when specifically permitted by the manufacturer and using the recommended technique. Improper bending may damage the locking holes or alter the mechanical properties of the implant.
