Implant Features

3.5mm Lateral Distal Fibula Locking Plate
  • Distal screw cluster and low plate profile provide stable periarticular fixation
  • 2.0mm – 1.7mm proximal to distal plate thickness transition
  • Left and right specific
      3.5mm Lateral Distal Fibula Locking Plate
3.5mm PosteroLateral Distal Fibula Locking Plate
 
  • Scalloped for syndesmotic screw placement outside the plate without compromising plate position 
  • 1.5mm – 0.9mm proximal to distal plate thickness transition
  • Left and right specific
  • 8° distal helical twist to accommodate the posterolateral anatomy of the distal fibula
  • Rounded distal edge to minimise peroneal nerve irritation
      3.5mm PosteroLateral Distal Fibula Locking Plate
3.5mm One-Third Locking Tubular Plate
  • Low-profile buttress plate for fractures of the distal fibula 
  • Consistent 1.5mm plate thickness
      3.5mm One-Third Locking Tubular 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.        Distal Fibula Variable-Angle Locking Plates

Indications

The PERI-LOC◊ VLP Distal Fibula Plates are indicated for the treatment of fractures of the distal fibula.

The PERI-LOC◊ VLP 3.5mm One-Third Tubular Locking Plates are indicated for the treatment of fractures, non-unions, and osteotomies of the medial malleolus, fibula, distal ulna, olecranon, calcaneus and metatarsals.

Contraindications

The PERI-LOC◊ VLP Distal Fibula Plates are contraindicated for fractures with extreme metaphyseal comminution or dissociation of the articular segment from the shaft.
