Home > Anatomic Fibula Locking Plate, Titanium
The anatomic fibula locking plate in titanium brings the material logic of titanium to the thinnest soft-tissue corridor in ankle trauma. The plate comes preformed to the distal fibular flare, its locking holes accept fixed-angle screws along the whole implant, and the titanium alloy keeps the profile slim beneath the skin over the lateral malleolus, where bulky hardware is quickly felt. The line runs through five hole counts for the left and the right leg. BoneCraft holds the complete titanium range in stock, supplied as an independent distributor of genuine Zimmer Biomet products.
At the lateral malleolus the implant lies directly under the skin, so plate bulk decides how often hardware is felt afterwards. Titanium alloy lets this plate stay thin where a stiffer, thicker implant would be prominent, while the anatomic preforming means the slim profile is not achieved at the cost of fit: the head already follows the fibular flare when it leaves the package.
The hole-count run is deliberately compact. Five lengths cover the working range of lateral malleolar fixation, from short plates for fractures at the syndesmosis to the ten-hole plate that bridges spiral fractures running up the shaft. Each length is made for the left and the right leg, and the operating surgeon picks the count that spans the fracture with adequate screw purchase on both sides.
At fixation the plate is laid on the lateral surface of the fibula, the head seating over the malleolus without bending. The distal locking screws build the fixed-angle frame in the small distal fragment first; shaft screws then complete the construct, with K-wire holes available to tack the plate while the reduction is checked. Because the screws thread into the plate, the construct does not depend on purchase in weak metaphyseal bone. Reduction, screw sequence and plate length are decided by the operating surgeon.
| Hole count | Left leg | Right leg |
|---|---|---|
| 3 holes | Available | Available |
| 4 holes | Available | Available |
| 6 holes | Available | Available |
| 8 holes | Available | Available |
| 10 holes | Available | Available |
| Attribute | Specification |
|---|---|
| Plate position | Lateral distal fibula, anatomic preformed contour |
| Material | Titanium alloy, implant grade |
| Sides | Dedicated left and right versions |
| Hole counts | 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10 holes |
| Hole type | Threaded locking holes along the whole plate |
| Screw compatibility | Locking screws of the matching system |
| Temporary fixation | K-wire holes for provisional positioning |
| Origin | Genuine original implant; original manufacturer documentation available |
The contour, thread geometry and screw interface follow the original system design exactly, so the plate works with the matching locking screws and instruments described in the corresponding surgical technique. Both legs are stocked across all five hole counts, and a wholesale order can consolidate this titanium line with the stainless anatomic fibula locking plate of the same family.
