Malleolar plate

Optional use of fixed angle locking or conventional screws

• Reconstruction plate for malleolar fractures type B and C (AO classification).
• Designed to contour the bone. No additional adjustment to the bone is needed.
• Optimal bone contact to avoid weakening of the bone.
• Screw holes permit an angulation of up to 15° of the bone screws.
• Screw heads bearly exceed the plate.
• The minimal implant thickness adds no height and avoids irritation.
• Surface treatment to avoid bony ongrowth.
• The low module of elasticity of Titanium alloy offers ideal stress transfer.
• Strong and elastic alloy.
• Great fatigue resistance of Titanium alloy reduces the risk of plate breakage.
• Titanium alloy is CT and MRI compatible.
• Titanium alloy is biocompatible – inert – non allergenic.
• Manufactured from ISO standardized alloys.
• Immediate partial weight bearing even without cast.
• Full weight bearing after 3 days, thus quick rehabilitation.
• Easy to remove, if required.
