Indications:

The Metaphyseal plates are indicated for extra-articular fractures of the metaphyseal area that extend into the shaft. The 3.5 plate is indicated for distal tibial and distal humeral fractures.

Plate Features:

• Safety Locking combi-holes allow uncompromising combinations: The combi-hole allows an internal plate fixation using standard screws, angular stable locking screws, or a combination of both. This takes into account the most diverse intraoperative requirements.
• Angular stability allows for better fixation: The angle- and axis-stable locking screws prevent loss of reduction under load. A precise anatomical contouring of the plate is unnecessary when using this system as a locking internal fixator.
• Easier plate contouring due to thinned plate profile: The plate design facilitates anatomical contouring considerably, whilst taking into account the distinctive features of the metaphyseal bone area (e.g. complex bone shapes, thin soft tissue envelope).
• The Metaphyseal Safety Lock Plates have both compression and locking holes. All holes of plate accept 3.5 mm cortex, 3.5mm safety lock and 4.0 mm cancellous screws.
