Twisted Plates
Twisted Plates are uniquely designed fixation plates that incorporate a twist or angular offset along their longitudinal axis. This twist enables the plate to conform to anatomical contours or facilitate multi-planar fixation, especially in areas where standard flat plates are not suitable. These plates typically include multiple holes or slots for secure screw fixation and are designed to span across fracture sites or act as linking elements in complex external fixation frames. The built-in twist reduces the need for manual bending during surgery, improving procedural efficiency and alignment accuracy. Material: Primary Material: Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel (AISI 316L) – high strength and biocompatibility Optional Material: Titanium – lighter, MRI-compatible, and excellent corrosion resistance Anodized Aluminum – for lightweight or temporary fixation needs Surface Finish: Polished or bead-blasted Autoclavable and reusable
- Anatomical Fracture Fixation – Used where bones curve or twist—e.g., distal radius, pelvis, or metatarsals.
- Bridging Fixator Elements – Connects external fixator components at non-parallel angles.
- Deformity Correction – Facilitates angular or rotational corrections while maintaining rigidity.
- Pediatric & Small Bone Surgery – Available in smaller sizes for precise positioning in delicate structures.
- Orthopedic Trauma Surgery – Effective in complex fracture sites where traditional straight plates cannot fit.
- Pre-Twisted Profile – Eliminates need for intraoperative contouring.
- Multi-Planar Fit – Ideal for complex anatomical areas (e.g., pelvis, distal tibia).
- Multiple Screw Holes – Allows secure multi-point fixation.
- High Strength-to-Weight Ratio – Suitable for load-bearing use.
- Corrosion-Resistant – Safe for long-term implantation.
- Modular Compatibility – Integrates with standard screws and fixation sets.
