Twin Lock BCP Medial Distal Tibia Plate
- – Fixation of complex intra- and extra-articular fractures of the distal tibia (Tibial Plafond or Pilon fractures)
- – Osteotomies of the distal tibia
Twin Lock-BCP Medial 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
Low profile head for minimal prominence on medial malleolus
3.5 mm cortex and 4.0 mm cancellous bone screws sit flush with a plate in the non locking portion of distal combi-holes to minimise screw prominence
3.7 mm cannulated locking and 3.7 mm cannulated conical (for compression) can be used distally in the metaphyseal area near joint
Rounded edges to minimise soft tissue irritation
Limited-contact shaft profile
Three distal locking screws diverge across the subchondral bone and are parallel to joint
Four to fourteen Combi-holes in the shaft
Two distal combi-holes
Distal Kirschner wire hole for plate placement (2.0 mm maximum diameter)
Available in stainless steel or titanium
Oblong holes in the head and six 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 compressionss
- – 3.5 mm cortex screws
- – 3.5 mm locking screws
- – 4.0 mm cancellous bone screws
