Phalangeal and Metacarpal Plates
Overview
Range overview
Kangli Orthopaedics builds its phalangeal and metacarpal plates as one pure titanium system, catalogued in 44 configurations and organised by plate shape rather than by length alone. Micro locking plate systems at this scale keep the plate body narrow between the holes, so a construct can wrap the end of a bone, turn a corner, or run straight along a phalanx or metacarpal without a broad transverse section.
Four plate shapes for the hand
The Micro T Locking Plate spreads its holes across the end of a bone; the Micro Condylar Locking Plate takes a compact form for condylar regions; the Micro L Locking Plate changes direction near the plate end; and the Micro Straight Locking Plate keeps a direct linear run. T, condylar and L layouts are each catalogued in a Small version as well, which puts the same geometry on a reduced footprint.
Micro locking screws and the hole interface
Every opening is a locking hole rather than a clearance hole. A compatible micro locking screw seats its head within the plate, establishing the same screw-to-plate connection at each selected position instead of drawing the plate down onto bone. Between the rounded hole sections the body stays narrow, following a longitudinal fixation path along the hand bone.
Hole counts and sided forms
Six hole counts are catalogued: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11. The 5-, 6-, 7- and 8-hole plates are additionally marked left and right, so a configuration can be matched to the hand involved without adapting a contralateral shape.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What plate shapes does the micro system include?
Four base layouts: T, condylar, L-shaped and straight. The T layout extends fixation across the end of a bone, the condylar plate suits condylar regions, the L plate changes direction near its end, and the straight plate runs a single linear row. T, condylar and L are also catalogued in Small versions, giving seven named plate types across 44 configurations.
Are the hand plates supplied in left and right forms?
For part of the range. Plates with 5, 6, 7 and 8 holes are catalogued in left- and right-marked forms, so the configuration matches the hand involved rather than being adapted from a contralateral shape. The two remaining counts, 9 and 11, are catalogued without a side marking. Selection is by hole count first, then by side where a side is offered.
How many holes do the plates carry?
Six hole counts are catalogued: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11. Which counts are offered depends on the plate type, since a T or condylar layout distributes its openings around a bone end while the straight plate runs them in one row. The full count-by-type breakdown comes with the catalogue listing.
What material are the micro plates made from?
Pure titanium throughout the system, across all 44 configurations and every plate shape. Kangli Orthopaedics machines them on CNC equipment including DMG five-axis centres and Citizen Cincom Swiss-type lathes, with an on-site vacuum heat-treatment furnace used for stress relief and annealing after cutting.
Can the system be produced under a distributor's own brand?
Yes. Kangli Orthopaedics is a manufacturer working on OEM, ODM and OBM terms for orthopaedic implants and instruments, from a campus of roughly 40,000 square metres with about 200 staff. The company sells directly into 35 countries and its devices reach more than 40. Send the Request a Quote form to start a discussion.
