Distal Tibial Lateral (Reconstruction) Locking Plate

Kangli Orthopaedics offers this Pure Titanium distal tibial lateral reconstruction locking plate for orthopedic fixation procedures involving the lateral distal tibia and ankle region. Its asymmetrically contoured body follows the lateral tibial profile, while scalloped edges and threaded screw seats contribute to a plate-and-screw construct for distal tibial reconstruction.

Contoured Profile for Lateral Distal Tibia

The plate features a broad, rounded terminal end that transitions into an elongated, gently undulating body and a narrower section with an upward curve. This changing geometry corresponds to the transition from the broad ankle-side region of the distal tibia to the narrower shaft.

Scalloped Geometry for Ankle-Side Reconstruction

Concave scallops are arranged along the lower edge near the fixation positions. Rounded transitions and chamfered perimeter edges complete the plate geometry, with open spaces between selected fixation sites. This reconstruction-oriented profile is suited to the changing outline of the lateral distal tibia around the ankle.

Threaded Screw Seats for Plate Coupling

The circular fixation positions incorporate threaded seating areas for engagement with compatible screw heads. This configuration couples each seated screw to the plate rather than relying solely on contact with a smooth plate surface, forming an integrated locking fixation construct.

Left- and Right-Specific Plate Options

Side-specific versions are available for lateral placement on the selected side of the distal tibia. The corresponding upturned terminal section follows the intended side-specific orientation, allowing distributors and surgical teams to select the profile that matches the planned anatomy.

Orthopedic Fixation Applications

• Lateral distal tibial fracture fixation
• Distal tibial reconstruction
• Ankle-region fracture fixation
• Fixation of distal tibial fragments with a contoured locking plate

The lateral plate is listed alongside the Distal Tibial Medial Locking Plate for fixation planning that differentiates the lateral and medial aspects of the distal tibia.
