TIBIA PLATE

Advantages
  • VaWiKo® holes allow the use of Ø 4.0 mm angle-stable and standard screws
  • Refixation of capsule and meniscus base with sutures through separate, undercut openings measuring 1.8 mm in diameter in the proximal plate edge
  • Proximal row of screws to insert 4 or 5 screws, directly subchondral to securely support the entire plateau area after reconstruction
  • Separate impactors allow indented articular surface fragments in all areas of the plateau to be reduced through the integrated opening in the plate.
  • Plate opening to reduce the articular surface using impactors
  • Kirschner wire holes for Kirschner wires Ø 1.8 mm for temporary plate fixation and reduction of fracture fragments
  • Uniform plate versions for left and right
Fractures
  • Titanium
  • Plate thickness 3 mm
  • 6 head holes (narrow)
  • 7 head holes (broad)
  • 4 holes / 88 mm
  • 8 holes / 140 mm
Advantages
  • Used as a template for restoration of the bone form
  • For optimum distribution of forces in the bone and in order to prevent secondary subsidence of contusion fragments, three screws can be inserted in the proximal lateral shank of the plate
  • In the distal shank of the plate, the screws diverge in order to reduce notch stress in the bone and the risk of secondary implant migration
  • Combination holes in the plate shaft for standard and angle-stable screws
  • 3 angle-stable head holes for angle-stable cancellous screws Ø 6.0 mm or angle-stable cortical screws Ø 4.5 mm
  • Angle-stable shaft holes for standard cortical screws Ø 4.5 mm or angle-stable cortical screws Ø 4.5 mm
  • Fixation holes for Kirschner wires
  • Anatomically shaped plate design
  • Colour-coded plate designs for left (= gold) and right (= blue)
  • Elongated hole for intra-operative alignment of the plate
Fractures
  • Titanium
  • Plate thickness 4.5 mm
  • Width 14 mm
  • 4 holes – 18 holes
  • Lengths 77 mm – 301 mm

The angle-stable HTO (High Tibial Osteotomy) plate with 3 head holes for 6.0 cancellous screws is used for stabilisation after a high valgus tibial osteotomy.

Surgical treatment with the HTO plate
The HTO plate combines the principles of the spacer system with angle stability. It guarantees a high level of primary stability for optimal consolidation of the osteotomy. The anatomical plate design reduces the invasiveness of the incision. The use of this implant allows early functional post-operative measures.

  • The HTO plate combines the principles of spacer technology with angle stability
  • Guarantees a high level of primary stability for optimal consolidation of osteotomy
  • Short plate design reduces the invasiveness of the incision
  • Early functional post-operative measures are possible spacers for increasing cortical support
  • Anatomically aligned Ø 6.0 mm cancellous screws in the proximal plate section
  • Elongated hole for intra-operative alignment of the plate by fitting the spacer
  • Three or seven angle-stable shaft holes for Ø 4.5 mm angle-stable cortical screws
  • Three angle-stable head holes for Ø 6.0 mm angle-stable cancellous screws
  • Fixation holes for Kirschner wires

Advantages
  • Used as a template for restoration of the bone form
  • Lateral fragments are securely supported by the proximal plate section
  • Can be unilaterally stabilised with 4 screws that can be inserted into the joint block with angle-stable locking:
    • Two screws in the proximal, transverse shank of the plate to ensure optimum distribution of force and support close to the joint for impression fragments
    • The two screws connecting distally point to the cranial medial direction.
    • Divergent screw direction in the plate shaft to reduce notch stress and for increased stability
    • Combination holes in the plate shaft for standard and angle-stable screws
    • 4 angle-stable head holes for angle-stable cortical and cancellous screws
    • Angle-stable shank holes for standard or angle-stable cortical screws
