Twin Lock Distal Tibia Plate
- Extra-articular and simple intra-articular distal tibia fractures
- Tibial Plafond (Pilon) fractures with involvement of lateral portion of articular surface
- Distal tibia fracture, percutaneous or reducible by limited arthrotomy
- Distal tibia fracture extending into the diaphyseal area
- Distal locking screws provide support for the articular surface
- Targeted locking for Volkman’s triangle and the Chaput fragment
- The head of the plate is designed to provide a low-profile construct when using locking
- screws or cortex screws
- 3.7 mm Cannulated Screw (locking and conical) available which enables the surgeon to confirm
- the direction of the screw before inserting
- 60° twist in the shaft is contoured for the distal tibia anatomy: less plate contouring is required
- Twin Lock-BCP Anterolateral Distal Tibial Plate (Left and Right) merges locking screw technology with conventional plating techniques
- The Combi hole in the locking plate shaft combines a dynamic compression unit with a locking screw hole. Combi holes provide the flexibility of axial compression and locking capability throughout the length of the plate shaft
- Locking screws provide the ability to create a fixed-angle construct which provides a stable construct even in osteopenic bone or multi-fragment fractures where screw purchase is less. These screws do not rely on plate-to-bone compression to resist patient load, but function similarly to angled blade plates
- Distal Kirschner wire hole for plate placement (2.0 mm maximum diameter)
- Available in stainless steel or titanium
- Round locking holes in the head (periarticular area – distally) accept the following screws
- Cannulated 3.7 mm locking and cannulated 3.7 mm conical screw (For compression)
- 3.5 mm cortex screws
- 3.5 mm locking screws
- 4.0 mm cancellous bone screws
- The shaft holes accept 3.5 mm locking screws in the threaded portion and 3.5 mm cortex screws and 4.0 mm cancellous screws
