Product Explanation
The Locking T Buttress Plate, 5.0 mm is an orthopedic fixation plate intended to form part of a compatible internal fixation construct.
A simplified fixation concept can be represented as:
Tibial Bone → T-Shaped Buttress Plate → Compatible Fixation Screws → Internal Fixation Construct
The product is specifically identified as a:
T Buttress Plate
indicating a fixation plate with a widened transverse head connected to a longitudinal shaft.
The supplied image categorizes the product under:
Trauma – Tibia
According to the supplied product information, the plate family includes:
3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 Shaft Holes
providing multiple plate configurations.
No numerical Head Holes specification is provided in the supplied product data.
Product Components and Design
- T-Shaped Buttress Plate Body
The implant consists of a metallic fixation plate with a broadened transverse head and an elongated shaft.
This creates the characteristic:
T-shaped geometry
visible in the supplied image.
The exact head width, shaft dimensions, plate thickness, curvature, contour, and anatomical relationship are not provided in the supplied data and should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s technical drawings.
- Buttress Configuration
The supplied product table states:
Alignment: Buttress
However, Buttress is not a conventional anatomical alignment such as Left, Right, Straight, or Oblique.
It is more appropriately interpreted as a:
Plate Configuration: Buttress
pending confirmation from the manufacturer’s master catalog.
The exact anatomical surface and biomechanical role associated with the buttress configuration should be confirmed from the approved surgical technique.
- Transverse Head Section
The widened T-shaped head visually includes multiple fixation openings.
However, the supplied product data states:
Head Holes: –
Therefore, the official technical sheet should record:
Head Holes: Not specified
The exact number, classification, compatible screw type, locking mechanism, and screw trajectories of the visible head openings should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s technical documentation rather than inferred solely from the image.
- Shaft Section
According to the supplied product information, the plate is available with:
3 Shaft Holes
4 Shaft Holes
5 Shaft Holes
6 Shaft Holes
8 Shaft Holes
10 Shaft Holes
12 Shaft Holes
14 Shaft Holes
This provides eight listed shaft-hole configurations within the product family.
The exact physical plate length corresponding to each shaft-hole configuration is not provided.
- Multiple Fixation Opening Geometries
The supplied product image visually shows multiple fixation opening geometries, including:
- Openings within the transverse head.
- Circular / rounded shaft openings.
- Elongated or contoured openings.
- Multiple longitudinal fixation positions.
The exact function of each opening—such as locking fixation, conventional fixation, compression, positioning, or another fixation role—is not defined in the supplied product data and should be confirmed from the approved surgical technique.
- T-Head Geometry
The plate’s terminal section extends laterally across the shaft, forming a T-shaped head.
The exact:
- T-head width.
- Head-to-shaft angle.
- Anatomical contour.
- Bend geometry.
- Offset.
- Screw orientation.
are not provided in the supplied image.
These parameters should be obtained from the manufacturer’s engineering 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 and should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s material documentation.
Intended Use
The Locking T Buttress Plate, 5.0 mm is designed for use as part of a compatible orthopedic fixation system according to the approved indications, surgical technique, and Instructions for Use.
The supplied product is listed under:
Trauma – Tibia
but the exact tibial segment is not specified in the supplied image.
Potential applications may involve tibial fixation where this T-shaped buttress configuration is included within the manufacturer’s approved indications.
The exact anatomical location, fracture type, fracture classification, fixation strategy, surgical approach, contraindications, and patient-selection criteria should be confirmed from the official product documentation.
Plate selection may depend on factors including:
- Tibial anatomy.
- Exact anatomical location.
- Fracture location and configuration.
- Required buttress fixation.
- Required T-shaped plate geometry.
- Required fixation construct.
- Required shaft-hole configuration.
- Required plate length.
- Bone dimensions.
- Bone quality.
- Compatible screw selection.
- Compatible instrumentation.
- Surgical approach.
- Preoperative planning.
- Intraoperative assessment.
The implant should be selected and implanted by a qualified orthopedic surgeon according to the approved surgical technique and Instructions for Use.
Key Benefits
T-Shaped Buttress Configuration
The product is specifically identified as a:
Locking T Buttress Plate
providing a distinct T-shaped plate geometry within a compatible tibial fixation system.
The exact anatomical and biomechanical role should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s approved documentation.
Eight Shaft-Hole Configurations
The product family includes:
3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 Shaft Holes
providing eight different shaft-hole configurations.
This supports selection among multiple plate variants according to fixation requirements and surgical planning.
5.0 mm Fixation System
The product is identified as:
Locking T Buttress Plate, 5.0 mm
indicating its association with a compatible 5.0 mm orthopedic fixation system.
The exact compatible screw types and whether every visible opening accepts the same screw diameter 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
Tibia Product Category
The supplied product image places the plate under:
Trauma – Tibia
indicating its inclusion within the manufacturer’s tibial fixation portfolio.
The exact tibial segment should still be confirmed from official documentation.
Multiple Plate-Length Configurations
The available shaft-hole options:
3 → 4 → 5 → 6 → 8 → 10 → 12 → 14
indicate multiple potential plate-length variants.
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:
- 1 listed configuration: Buttress
- No numerical head-hole configuration specified
- 8 shaft-hole options: 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14
- 2 material options: SS316L / Titanium
If every shaft-hole configuration is available in both materials, this could represent up to 16 basic shaft × material combinations.
The exact number of commercially available variants should be confirmed from the official Cat. No. table.
