Overview
The Proximal Lateral Tibia Locking Plate (Hockey) is a specialized orthopedic implant designed for the fixation of proximal tibial fractures, particularly those involving the lateral tibial plateau. Its unique “hockey stick” shape provides optimal anatomical contouring, allowing for precise fracture reduction and improved stability in complex fracture patterns. The plate features a 3.5 mm or 4.5 mm locking screw system that delivers angular-stable fixation, making it suitable for comminuted, peri-articular, or osteoporotic bone. Manufactured from premium-grade titanium alloy or stainless steel, this plate combines strength, durability, and biocompatibility to promote reliable fracture healing and excellent functional recovery.
Key Features
- Hockey Stick Anatomical Design: Pre-contoured to match the lateral proximal tibial anatomy, reducing intraoperative bending and enhancing implant-to-bone fit.
- Locking Screw System: Provides angular-stable fixation, minimizing screw loosening, plate migration, and loss of fracture alignment.
- High-Strength Material: Constructed from titanium alloy or stainless steel for superior mechanical performance and long-term durability.
- Hybrid Screw Compatibility: Accommodates both locking and cortical screws for versatile fixation strategies tailored to fracture complexity.
- Minimally Invasive Friendly: Designed to preserve soft tissue and compatible with minimally invasive surgical approaches.
- Optimized Load Distribution: Plate geometry and screw configuration evenly distribute forces across the fracture site for enhanced stability.
Indications for Use
- Proximal tibial fractures, including lateral plateau fractures
- Comminuted or peri-articular fracture patterns
- Osteoporotic bone requiring angular-stable fixation
- Revision surgeries or post-traumatic deformities
- Fractures requiring rigid internal fixation and precise anatomical alignment
Benefits
- Enhanced Fracture Stability: Locking mechanism and hockey-shaped anatomical design provide rigid fixation, supporting early mobilization.
- Reduced Risk of Hardware Failure: Minimizes screw loosening, plate deformation, and malalignment.
- Surgical Efficiency: Pre-contoured hockey design simplifies plate placement and reduces operative time.
- Improved Clinical Outcomes: Maintains anatomical alignment, promotes predictable bone healing, and supports functional recovery.
