Procedure: Distal Tibia Fracture

Anterolateral Distal Tibia plates feature a lateral tab with a machined relief on the underside of the plate to allow for bending and contouring to capture the Chaput fragment. The machined relief feature also allows for easier removal of the tab if desired. Plates feature a transitional profile with a robust shaft proximally, and a lower profile design distally to minimize hardware prominence in an area with minimal soft tissue coverage. Medial screw trajectories are oriented to obtain maximum bone purchase from the surgical approach and plate placement. The Distal Tibia Plating System is an ancillary tray that complements the core Ankle Fracture Plating System. The tray comes equipped with additional instrumentation including a ball spike pusher and locking wheel clamp to aid in reduction, as well as a plate inserter to facilitate proper plate positioning and orientation
