4.5MM T Buttress Plate
+ Description
The Ø4.5mm "T" Buttress Plate is a precision-engineered orthopedic implant designed to provide superior fixation and stabilization of complex fractures in the distal femur, proximal tibia, and other metaphyseal regions requiring angular support. Crafted for excellence, this plate reinforces structural integrity, effectively countering axial and shear forces to prevent fracture collapse, especially in osteoporotic or comminuted bone conditions. Its robust design ensures optimal load distribution, promoting accelerated healing and long-term biomechanical stability in high-stress, weight-bearing applications
+ Indications
- Used in trauma cases involving metaphyseal fractures, intra-articular fractures, and osteopenic bone conditions requiring additional support. designed for the stabilization and fixation of complex fractures, particularly in weight-bearing bones. Its applications include
- Metaphyseal Fractures: Provides structural support in fractures of the distal femur and proximal tibia, ensuring stability in regions with high mechanical stress.
- Intra-Articular Fractures: Helps in the fixation of fractures extending into the joint, restoring anatomical alignment and preventing post-traumatic arthritis.
- Osteoporotic Bone Fixation: Offers reinforcement in weakened bones due to osteoporosis, reducing the risk of implant failure or secondary displacement.
- Comminuted Fractures: Effectively stabilizes fractures with multiple fragments by resisting collapse and maintaining proper bone positioning.
- Peri-Prosthetic Fractures: Used in fractures occurring around joint implants, providing additional support where standard fixation methods are insufficient.
- Reconstructive Surgery: Utilized in cases requiring bone realignment, defect bridging, or revision surgeries, ensuring durable load-bearing capacity.
- Delayed Union or Non-Union Cases: Facilitates bone healing in fractures that show poor healing response by offering sustained stabilization.
+ Key Features
- Material: High-grade medical Stainless Steel (316L) or Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), ensuring biocompatibility and corrosion resistance.
- Design: "T"-shaped configuration for enhanced buttress effect, providing resistance to shear and axial forces.
- Screw Compatibility: Accommodates Ø4.5mm cortical screws and Ø6.5mm cancellous screws for secure fixation.
- Thickness & Profile: Low-profile design minimizes soft tissue irritation while maintaining mechanical strength.
- Surface Finish: Polished or anodized surface to reduce bacterial adhesion and enhance biocompatibility.
- Hole Configuration: Pre-contoured holes to allow precise screw placement, optimizing stability and compression at the fracture site.
