Product Overview
The Ankle Plating System 3 is used in combination with the Acumed Small Fragment Base Set, a comprehensive system for small fragment trauma surgeries of the upper and lower extremities.
The set is designed as both a stand-alone system with traditional plating as well as a complement to Acumed's precontoured, anatomic-specific plating systems such as the Ankle Plating System 3.
Screws in the system include 2.7 and 3.5 mm locking, nonlocking, and variable angle hexalobe screws, as well as 4.0 mm fully and partially threaded cancellous hexalobe screws. The system also features straightforward instrumentation including fragment plate benders, fragment plate cutters, and a variety of drills and drill guides.
Key Features
• Comprehensive System
• Designed for small fragment trauma surgeries of the upper and lower extremities, the set can be used as both a stand-alone system and in conjunction with Acumed’s Ankle Plating System 3.
• A Choice of Plates
The Small Fragment Base Set includes nonlocking One-Third Tubular Plates that can be used on the clavicle, scapula, olecranon, humerus, radius, ulna, distal tibia, and fibula. The 2.7 mm Locking Fragment Plates can be implanted on small bones as a primary or auxiliary implant.
• Plate Benders
Fragment Plate Benders allow for in-situ and ex-situ bending in a multiplanar direction and may be slid over a plate hole with an existing screw.
• Additional Implants
The Small Fragment Base Set also houses three lengths of nonsterile AcuTwist® Acutrak® Compression Screws and Tension Band Pins to facilitate fracture reduction, providing several implant options to support the case.
• Variable Angle Screws
These screws are designed to lock up to 15 degrees off axis in any direction, allowing the surgeon to target the best quality bone and avoid joint penetration.
