Product Overview
The 3.5 mm LCP® Medial Distal Tibia Plate, without tab is part of the Synthes LCP system that merges locking screw technology with conventional plating techniques. (https://www.depuysynthes.com/)
Fixation with the 3.5 mm LCP Medial Distal Tibia Plate without tab has many similarities to traditional plate fixation methods, with a few important improvements. Locking screws provide the ability to create a fixed-angle construct while using standard AO plating techniques. Locking capability is important for fixed-angle constructs in osteopenic bone or multifragment fractures where screw purchase is compromised. These screws do not rely on plate-to-bone compression to resist patient load, but function similarly to multiple, small, angled blade plates.
