4.5mm Locking T-Plate

Our 4.5mm Locking T-Plate is a high-strength, load-bearing large fragment orthopedic implant engineered for the rigid internal fixation of fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions in heavy weight-bearing bones and broad metaphyseal areas. Featuring a robust T-shaped configuration, this plate is specifically optimized to provide buttress support and angular stability across wide, flat bone expansions. It is an excellent clinical choice for stabilizing fractures of the proximal tibia (tibial plateau), proximal and distal humerus, and distal femur.

Crafted from premium medical-grade, highly electropolished Surgical Stainless Steel 316L or Premium Titanium Alloy, the plate integrates advanced combi-holes (combination locking/compression holes) across both its transverse head and longitudinal shaft. This highly versatile design gives orthopedic surgeons ultimate intraoperative control—allowing the delivery of fixed-angle stability in comminuted metaphyseal zones while simultaneously achieving rigid dynamic axial compression along the diaphyseal bone shaft.

Key Features & Benefits

• Universal Combi-Hole Engineering: Features dual-purpose combination holes in both the head and shaft that accommodate threaded 5.0mm locking screws for rigid fixed-angle frames or standard 4.5mm cortical screws for dynamic axial compression.

• Heavy-Duty Large Fragment Support: Engineered with increased width and structural thickness to withstand intense bending forces and physiological loads inherent to the tibia and humerus.

• Fixed-Angle Construct Security: Threaded screw-to-plate locking prevents screw back-out, hardware loosening, and secondary loss of reduction—providing critical fixation strength in severely osteoporotic bone tissue.

• Comprehensive Sizing Fleet: Available in multiple shaft length variations (ranging from short 5-hole configurations up to extended 11+ hole variants) to seamlessly span a wide array of fracture configurations.

• Tissue-Friendly Contour Finishing: Smoothly rounded side borders, tapered plate ends, and a mirror-polished finish minimize subcutaneous hardware friction, reduce tissue irritation, and shield vital blood vessels.

Clinical Applications

• Rigid internal fixation of metaphyseal and intra-articular fractures of the proximal tibia (tibial plateau split fractures).

• Stabilization of high-stress fractures across the proximal or distal humeral shaft.

• Fixation of complex diaphyseal fractures extending into the metaphyseal bone expansion.

• Treatment of heavy-load human bone non-unions, mal-unions, and advanced large-animal veterinary surgeries.
