The PERI-LOC^◊ Periarticular Locked Plating System from Smith & Nephew, Inc. offers the advantages of locked plating with the flexibility and benefits of traditional plating in one system. Utilizing both locking and non-locking screws, PERI-LOC^◊ offers a construct that resists angular (e.g. varus/valgus) collapse while simultaneously acting as an effective aid to fracture reduction. A simple and straightforward instrument set features one screwdriver, standardized drill bits, and color-coded instrumentation, making PERI-LOC^◊ efficient and easy to use.

All PERI-LOC^◊ implants are manufactured using the highest quality 316L stainless steel for strength and durability.

The anatomical contour of the 3.5mm Anterolateral Distal Tibia Locking Plate provides an excellent fit against the surface of the bone.

Scallops on the distal end of the Anterolateral Distal Tibia Locking Plate allow easy placement of lag screws outside the plate for fixation of articular fractures.

Each screw hole will accept one of four different screws allowing you to customize the screw configuration depending on the individual needs of the fracture:

3.5mm Locking Self-Tapping Cortex Screw

3.5mm Self-Tapping Cortex Screw (Non-Locking)

4.0mm Partially Threaded Cancellous Screw

4.0mm Fully Threaded Cancellous Screw

The Medial Distal Tibia Locking Plate features a beveled tip proximally to allow easy percutaneous insertion. Holes in the plate can be used for 1mm of compression or locking and it is anatomically contoured to match the distal tibia.
