: Orthopedic Y-Plates & Articular Reconstruction Plates

Categories: ,

Our Anatomical Y-Plates and Articular Reconstruction Plates Series offers a comprehensive range of dual-column and branching trauma implants designed for the rigid internal fixation of complex intra-articular, comminuted, and supracondylar fractures. This high-versatility product family includes multiple sizing profiles—ranging from small fragment mini-Y layouts to heavy-duty, extended-shaft distal humeral and articular reconstruction configurations.

Crafted from medical-grade, high-mirror electropolished Surgical Stainless Steel 316L or Premium Titanium Alloy, these conventional plates utilize specialized sloped dynamic compression slots. By guiding standard cortical screws downward and horizontally, they generate powerful interfragmentary compression across shifting bone fragments. Selected models within this series incorporate a limited-contact (scalloped) understructure to preserve vital periosteal blood flow, accelerating biological bone healing while providing maximum mechanical stability across complex joint fractures.

Key Features & Benefits across the Series

  • Comprehensive Sizing & Configurations: Available in multiple lengths, shaft hole counts, and branching angles to accommodate varying patient anatomy from small-bone fragments to large long-bone joint columns.

  • Dual-Column Stabilization Geometry: Branching designs provide simultaneous mechanical bracing across both columns of a joint fracture through a single, streamlined hardware setup.

  • Vascular-Preserving Understructure: Scalloped, limited-contact underside profiles on select configurations reduce bone-to-plate surface contact, protecting the local blood supply.

  • Dynamic Compression Slots: Sloped oval hole engineering permits standard cortical screws to exert continuous horizontal compression across fracture lines as they are tightened.

  • Malleable Articular Flaring: The branching arms and webbed heads are designed to allow precise intraoperative contouring, matching the unique curves of distal and proximal articular margins perfectly.
