Product Explanation
The Locking Distal Tibial Plate with Knob, 3.5 mm is an orthopedic fixation plate intended to form part of a compatible internal fixation construct involving the distal tibia.
A simplified fixation concept can be represented as:
Distal Tibia → Locking Distal Tibial Plate with Knob → Compatible Fixation Screws → Internal Fixation Construct
The product is specifically identified as a:
Distal Tibial Plate
with an additional:
Knob
design feature.
The plate is selected and positioned according to the anatomical side, distal tibial anatomy, fracture configuration, required fixation construct, required plate length, surgical plan, approved surgical technique, and Instructions for Use.
According to the supplied product data, the plate is available in:
Left / Right
configurations.
The plate family includes:
4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 Shaft Holes
providing multiple configurations within the same product family.
No numerical Head Holes specification is provided in the supplied product data.
Product Components and Design
- Distal Tibial Plate Body
The implant consists of an elongated metallic fixation plate with a broadened and contoured distal fixation region connected to a longitudinal shaft.
The product is specifically identified as:
Locking Distal Tibial Plate with Knob
according to the supplied product name.
The exact anatomical contour, distal width, plate curvature, dimensions, thickness, and plate-to-bone relationship should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s technical drawings.
- Knob Design Feature
A defining characteristic of this product is the:
Knob
identified in the product designation.
The supplied image visually shows a specialized extension / projecting feature incorporated into the distal end of the plate.
However, the supplied data does not define:
- The exact geometry of the knob.
- Knob dimensions.
- Knob angle or orientation.
- Whether it accepts fixation hardware.
- Its specific mechanical or anatomical function.
- Its relationship to the surrounding distal tibial anatomy.
Therefore, the precise function of the knob should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s official technical documentation rather than inferred solely from the image.
- Distal Fixation Section
The distal portion of the plate is visibly broadened and incorporates multiple fixation openings.
However, the supplied product data states:
Head Holes: –
Therefore, no official numerical head-hole count is provided.
The exact number, classification, compatible screw type, locking interface, screw angulation, and trajectory of the distal openings should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s technical documentation.
- Shaft Section
According to the supplied product information, the plate is available with:
4 Shaft Holes
6 Shaft Holes
8 Shaft Holes
10 Shaft Holes
12 Shaft Holes
14 Shaft Holes
This provides six listed shaft-hole configurations within the product family.
The exact physical plate length corresponding to each shaft-hole option is not supplied.
- Multiple Fixation Opening Geometries
The supplied product image visually shows multiple fixation openings distributed across the distal section and shaft.
These include:
- Multiple distal fixation openings.
- Circular shaft openings.
- Elongated / contoured openings.
- Smaller fixation openings.
- Multiple longitudinal fixation positions.
The exact technical function of each opening—such as locking fixation, conventional fixation, compression, positioning, or another role—is not specified in the supplied product information and should be confirmed from the approved surgical technique.
- Distal Tibial Geometry
The plate is specifically identified as a Distal Tibial Plate, and the supplied image shows a specialized distal geometry rather than a completely straight fixation plate.
The exact distal flare, contour, offset, bend, orientation, and anatomical relationship are not provided in the supplied image.
These parameters should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s engineering drawings.
- Left and Right Configurations
According to the supplied product data, the plate is available in:
Left / Right
versions.
This supports side-specific implant selection.
The exact geometric differences between the Left and Right configurations should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s technical drawings.
- Material Options
According to the supplied product information, the plate is available in:
SS316L
and
Titanium
The exact Titanium alloy or grade is not specified in the supplied image and should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s official material specification.
Intended Use
The Locking Distal Tibial Plate with Knob, 3.5 mm is designed for use as part of a compatible orthopedic fixation system involving the distal tibia, according to the approved indications, surgical technique, and Instructions for Use.
Potential applications may involve internal fixation of the distal tibia where this specific plate configuration with a knob feature is included within the manufacturer’s approved indications.
The exact fracture patterns, fracture classifications, anatomical indications, fixation strategy, surgical approach, knob-specific function, contraindications, and patient-selection criteria should be confirmed from the official product documentation.
Plate selection may depend on factors including:
- Anatomical side.
- Distal tibial anatomy.
- Fracture location and configuration.
- Required distal fixation pattern.
- Requirement for the specified knob configuration.
- Required fixation construct.
- Required shaft-hole configuration.
- Required plate length.
- Bone dimensions.
- Bone quality.
- Compatible screw selection.
- Distal screw trajectory requirements.
- Compatible instrumentation.
- Surgical approach.
- Preoperative planning.
- Intraoperative assessment.
The implant should be selected and implanted by a qualified orthopedic surgeon in accordance with the approved surgical technique and Instructions for Use.
Key Benefits
Distal Tibial Plate Configuration
The product is specifically identified as a:
Locking Distal Tibial Plate
providing a dedicated plate configuration within a compatible distal tibial fixation system.
Integrated Knob Feature
The plate incorporates a:
Knob
according to the supplied product designation.
This distinguishes it from other distal tibial plate configurations.
The exact anatomical and mechanical benefit of the knob should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s approved documentation.
Left and Right Anatomical Options
The plate is available in:
Left / Right
configurations, supporting side-specific implant selection.
Six Shaft-Hole Configurations
The product family includes:
4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 Shaft Holes
providing six different plate configurations.
This supports selection among multiple plate variants according to fixation requirements and surgical planning.
3.5 mm Fixation System
The product is identified as:
Locking Distal Tibial Plate with Knob, 3.5 mm
indicating its association with a compatible 3.5 mm orthopedic fixation system.
The exact compatible screw types and whether every visible opening accepts a 3.5 mm screw should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s system documentation.
Two Material Options
According to the supplied product data, the plate is available in:
SS316L
and
Titanium
Multiple Plate-Length Configurations
The available shaft-hole options:
4 → 6 → 8 → 10 → 12 → 14
indicate multiple plate variants within the product family.
The corresponding physical plate lengths are not supplied and should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s dimensional specifications.
Multiple Product Variants
Based strictly on the supplied product information, the family includes:
- 2 alignment options: Left / Right
- 1 knob configuration
- No numerical head-hole configuration specified
- 6 shaft-hole options: 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14
- 2 material options: SS316L / Titanium
If every shaft-hole configuration is available in both alignments and both materials, this could represent up to 24 basic alignment × shaft × material combinations.
However, the supplied image does not provide the complete commercial configuration matrix. The exact number of available variants should therefore be confirmed from the official Cat. No. table.
