Antroletral Distal Tibia Locking Plate 3.5mm Surgical Technique
Antroletral Distal Tibia Locking Plate 3.5mm Surgical Technique
Antroletral Distal Tibia Locking Plate 3.5mm Surgical Technique
Design
Tapered tip for sub-muscular insertion
Distal locking screws provide support for the articular surface
The head of the plate is designed to provide a low profile construct when using locking screws or cortex screws
The twist in the shaft is contoured for the distal tibia anatomy so that less plate contouring is required.
Anatomically shaped
Two different plate designs to fit the right or left tibia
Screw heads are recessed in the plate to minimize screw prominence
The head of the plate features four locking holes that accept 3.5mm locking screws & shaft contains a 3.5mm
cortex screw or else 4.0mm cancellous screws.
Anatomic plate profile and four parallel screws near the joint assist reduction of metaphysis to diaphysis to
restore alignment and functional anatomy.
The combination of conventional and locking screws offers optimum fixation regardless of bone density.
Limited-contact plate design reduces plate-to-bone contact and helps to preserve the periosteal blood supply
Early mobilization
The low-profile anatomic fixation system with optimal plate placement and angular stability.
Indications
The LCP Anterolateral Distal Tibia Plate 3.5 is indicated for:
Extra-articular and simple intra-articular distal tibia fractures
Distal tibia fracture, percutaneous or reducible by limited arthrotomes
Distal tibia fracture extending into the diaphysis area
Surgical Steps:
Patient Position:
Position the patient supine on a radiolucent operating table. Visualization of the distal tibia under fluoroscopy
in both the lateral and AP views is recommended. Elevate the leg on a padded rest with the knee moderately
flexed to placement in a neutral position. Place the opposite leg level on the table top.
SURGICAL TECHNIQUE
3.5mm LCP Anterolateral Distal Tibia Plate
Approach:
A longitudinal and straight incision should be centred at the ankle joint, parallel to the fourth metatarsal distally,
and between the tibia and fibula proximally. Proximal extension of the incision should end seven or eight
centimetres above the joint. Distally the incision can be extended to the level of the talonavicular joint, allowing
exposure of the neck. The joint can be exposed using an arthrotomes
These also prevent plate rotation while inserting the first locking screw. To adjust the plate into final position,
insert a guide wire or partially insert LCP Drill Sleeve. After plate insertion, check alignment on the bone using
fluoroscopy. Ensure proper reduction before inserting the first locking screw. Once locking screws are inserted,
further reduction is not possible without loosening the locking screws.
Use 3.5mm LCP Drill Sleeve for inserting locking screw. After finding the screw position, 3.5mm LCP Drill
Sleeve attached in locking threaded hole of the plate. Ø2.8mm Drill bit is passed through this LCP drill sleeve.
Depth of drill is measured by using depth gauge or also it may direct measure by the size marking on drill.
Screw is placed in appropriate locking hole of plate with required size by using self-holding or simple screw
driver. Torque limiting screw driver is also used to tighten the LCP Screws.

Use 3.5mm Universal drill Guide for inserting 3.5mm cortex screw in shaft of the plat. Cortex screw is placed
in combi hole for achieve dynamic compression. First, 3.5mm Universal drill guide is located in the dynamic
portion of the shaft hole. 2.8mm Drill bit is used to drill the cortices passing through drill guide. With the use of
depth gauge, require size of 3.5mm cortex screw is measured. 3.5mm Tap is prefer for reaming the drill and
then cortex Screw is inserted with the help of screw driver.

Implant Removal
Unlock all screws from the plate, and then remove the screws completely from the bone. This prevents
simultaneous rotation of the plate when unlocking the last lock screw. If a screw cannot be removed with the
screwdriver, use the T-Handle with Quick Coupling to insert the Extraction Screw into the screw head, and
unscrew the screw in a counter clock direction.
