Zimmer^® Periarticular Locking Plate - Distal Lateral Fibula Plating System

The plate shaft includes ULS holes, which are figure-8 shaped and will accommodate standard or locking screws on either side of the hole. As a result, the plate can be used, depending upon the fracture situation, as compression plate, a locked internal fixator or as an internal fixation system combining both techniques. The plates enable the surgeon to treat fractures using compression plating techniques with standard cortical and cancellous screws. This is designed to allow application of the implant as an internal fixator to bridge highly commuted zones while providing stable fixation, utilizing both standard and locking screws in the same construct. Additionally, the system is intended to apply bi-directional axial compression within the construct as well as the ability to utilize unicortical locking fixation as necessary.

Locking screw technology gives surgeons the ability to create a fixed-angle construct while using familiar plating techniques. Multiple screw holes are designed with optimal screw trajectories to help capture small fragments. The locking plate design does not require compression between the plate and bone to accommodate loading. Therefore, the screw purchase in the bone can be achieved with a shallow thread profile.
