Implant Features

3.5mm Posteromedial Proximal Tibia Locking Plate
  • Contoured to provide a stable buttress platform for fractures of the medial tibial plateau
  • Consistent plate thickness:
        1.5mm: 4 hole
        2.0mm: 7 hole
  • Left and right specific
  •       3.5mm Posteromedial Proximal Tibia Locking Plate
    3.5mm Lateral Proximal Tibia Locking Plate
     
    • Scalloped to allow lag screw placement without compromising plate position
    • 1.5mm – 2.0mm proximal to distal plate thickness transition
    • Left and right specific
    • 3° AP radius of curvature optimizes plate coverage down the tibial shaft and proximal screw position
          3.5mm Lateral Proximal Tibia Locking Plate

    Design Features and Benefits

    Polyaxial Locking Plate 
     
    Each PERI-LOC◊ VLP screw hole contains five separate tabs that engage with the threads of the locking screw head to form a fixed angle construct. Locking screws can be angled and locked up to 15° in any direction allowing for the creation of customised, multi-directional locked plating constructs. Each screw hole accepts 3.5mm Cortex, 3.5mm Locking and/or 5.0mm Osteopenia Screws.       Polyaxial Locking Plate 
     
    Low Profile Implants
     
    The profile of the PERI-LOC◊ VLP locking plate is designed to ensure low profile fracture fixation in areas of minimal soft tissue coverage such as periarticular zones. All screws in the PERI-LOC◊ VLP Locked Plating System have a low head profile to further reduce the potential for soft tissue irritation in these sensitive areas.       Low Profile Implants
     
    Optimal Plate Contour
     
    The optimised contour of the PERI-LOC◊ VLP locking plate facilitates both fracture reduction and stabilisation as it is compressed to bone. This “compression contouring” feature is essential to the implant's ability to resist torque and bending during fracture healing. Once securely fixed in place, the plate produces a constant buttress effect to the fracture site to prevent loss of reduction and to enhance overall fracture fixation.        Optimal Plate Contour

    Indications

    The PERI-LOC◊ VLP 3.5mm Posteromedial Proximal Tibia Locking Plate and the 3.5mm Lateral Proximal Tibia Locking Plate are indicated for the fixation of AO/OTA Fracture Classification Type B fractures (partial articular) of the proximal tibia*. They are also indicated for the fixation of fractures in osteopenic bone.     Partial articular (41-B)

    Contraindications

    The PERI-LOC◊ VLP Proximal Tibia Plates are contraindicated for the treatment of AO/OTA Fracture Classification Types A & C and fractures with extreme metaphyseal comminution or dissociation of the articular segment from the shaft.     Extra articular | Complete articular
