Until the last century, casts and splints were used to support and stabilize the bone outside the body. With the advent of sterile surgical methods, doctors were able to internally set and support fractured bones. In a surgical procedure, the bone fragments are first repositioned and then held together with special implants like screws, nails, plates, and wires. Another advantage of internal fixation is that it allows shorter hospital stays and reduces nonunion and malunion incidences.
Interestingly, implants are compatible with the body and rarely cause an allergic reaction. Plates are attached to the bones with the help of screws. Synthes T Plate is available in stainless steel and merges locking screw technology with conventional plating techniques. The Synthes Locking Compression Plates or LCP - T-plates are intended to support metaphyseal fractures of the proximal humerus, distal tibia, and medial tibial plateau. In addition, they are used in fixation of osteopenic bone as well as fixation of nonunions and malunions.
The 3.5 millimeter LCP distal tibia T-plate construct features four locking, rafting screws parallel to the joint surface along with locking, strut screw options that provides additional support in the distal region of the tibia. The Combi holes allow fixation with locking screws in the threaded section for angular stability and cortex screws in the dynamic compression unit section for compression. Further, the fixed angle construct offers benefits for small distal metadiaphyseal segments.
In addition, the plate accepts 2.7 millimeter and 3.5 millimeter cortex screws, 4.0 millimeter cancellous bone screws and 3.5 millimeter locking screws. Synthes 4.5 millimeter LCP T Plate is used for the treatment of proximal tibia fractures in foals. If you require Synthes T Plate for the healthcare facility, consult high quality medical supplies and services that can help you make substantial savings, while offering the best in class care to the patients.
