LCP Low Bend Medial Distal Tibia Plates 3.5 mm The LCP Low Bend Medial Distal Tibia Plate 3.5 mm is part of the Synthes Small Fragment LCP system that merges locking screw technology with conventional plating techniques. The combi-holes in the LCP plate shaft combine a dynamic compression unit (DCU) hole with a locking screw hole. Combi-holes provide the flexibility of axial compression and locking capability throughout the length of the plate shaft. Fixation with the 3.5 mm LCP Low Bend Medial Distal Tibia Plate has many similarities to traditional plate fixation methods, with a few...

Plate features – Head of plate is low profile for minimal prominence on medial malleolus – 3.5 mm cortex and 4.0 mm cancellous bone screws sit flush with plate in the nonlocking portion of distal combiholes to minimize screw prominence – Rounded edges to minimize soft tissue irritation – Limited-contact shaft profile – Available in stainless steel or titanium Combi-holes in the shaft and head accept the following: – 3.5 mm cortex screws – 3.5 mm locking screws – 4.0 mm cancellous bone screws Three distal locking screws diverge across subchondral bone and are parallel to joint Six round...

AO Principles In 1958, the AO formulated four basic principles, which have become the guidelines for internal fixation.1,2 Those principles, as applied to the 3.5 mm LCP Low Bend Medial Distal Tibia Plate, are: Anatomic reduction Precontoured plate assists reduction of metaphysis to diaphysis and facilitates restoration of the articular surface by exact screw placement. Stable fixation Locking screws create a fixed-angle construct, providing angular stability. Preservation of blood supply Tapered end allows submuscular plate insertion, preserving tissue viability. Limited-contact plate...

Reduction Reduce articular surface Approach An open or a percutaneous approach may be used depending on the fracture. Reduction Technique tip: Application of an external fixator or large distractor may facilitate visualization and reduction of the joint. Reduce the fracture fragments and confirm reduction using image intensification. Methods of stabilizing reduction include the following: – Independent Kirschner wires – K-wires through the plate – Independent lag screws – Lag screws through the plate – Locking screws through the plate Locking screws do not provide interfragment compression;...

Plate Insertion Insert plate Percutaneous insertion For a percutaneous approach, make an incision to access the medial malleolus and slide the plate under the soft tissue. Technique tip: Thread a bending pin or LCP drill guide into one of the distal holes as a handle for percutaneous inser- Open insertion Open the area as necessary to expose the joint. Carefully push the plate under the soft tissue for placement on the Center the plate on the medial malleolus. Important: When choosing a percutaneous approach take care not to damage the saphenous nerve or saphenous vein. Saphenous vein...

2 Position plate and fix provisionally After plate insertion, check alignment on the bone using fluoroscopy. Make any adjustments before inserting screws. Note: This locking plate is precontoured to fit the medial distal tibia. If the plate contour is changed, it is important to check the position of the screws relative to the joint, using the screw placement verification technique. Optional instrument 324.024 Instrument for temporary reduction The plate may be temporarily held in place using any of the following options: – Instrument for temporary reduction (push-pull reduction device) –...

Thread a 3.5 mm LCP drill sleeve into the desired locking hole and insert the 1.6 mm centering sleeve for Kirschner wire into the drill guide. nsert a 1.6 mm threaded K-wire through the centering sleeve and drill to the desired depth. O Verify K-wire placement under image intensification to deter- mine if final screw placement will be acceptable. Important: The K-wire position represents the final position of the locking screw. Confirm that the K-wire does not enter
