Locking Small plate 3.5mm

Our 3.5mm Locking Small Plate is a high-precision, low-profile orthopedic implant engineered for the rigid internal fixation of fractures in small fragment bones and non-weight-bearing skeletal segments. Perfectly proportioned for delicate anatomical regions, this small plate is the premier clinical choice for managing diaphyseal and metaphyseal fractures of the radius, ulna, fibula, clavicle, and midfoot.

Crafted from medical-grade, highly electropolished Surgical Stainless Steel 316L or Titanium Alloy, the plate integrates advanced combi-holes (combination locking/compression holes). This sophisticated design provides orthopedic surgeons with ultimate intraoperative versatility—allowing them to achieve a rigid, fixed-angle interface using locking screws, dynamic axial compression with standard cortical screws, or a customized hybrid combination of both techniques.

Key Features & Benefits

• Advanced Hybrid Combi-Holes: Dual-purpose combination holes accommodate threaded 3.5mm locking screws for rigid angular stability or smooth-sloped 3.5mm cortical screws for controlled compression.

• Ultra-Low Profile Geometry: Minimal plate thickness and width reduce palpable implant mass beneath the skin, preventing hardware irritation and protecting subcutaneous bone structures.

• Fixed-Angle Construct Security: Threaded screw-to-plate locking creates a structurally stable frame that prevents screw back-out and plate migration—essential for successful healing in osteoporotic bone or comminuted small fractures.

• Linear Distribution of Stiffness: Aligned along a slim central axis to distribute mechanical stress evenly, reducing stress shielding and protecting the bone from post-operative refracture at the plate ends.

• Tissue-Friendly Contoured Margins: Smoothly rounded edges and tapered ends protect adjacent tendons, muscles, and soft tissue from friction or impingement during joint movement.
