Distal Tibial Medial Locking Plate

Kangli Orthopaedics manufactures the Distal Tibial Medial Locking Plate from pure titanium for medial distal tibia and ankle fixation. Its widened, irregular distal end contains a compact cluster of apertures, while the long shaft features waisted openings arranged in a regular row before ending in a rounded taper. The VA Distal Medial Tibial Locking Plate is the dedicated plate configuration for this medial fixation route, combining a contoured distal profile with an extended shaft.

Contoured Medial End for Distal Tibia Coverage

The widened distal end features apertures positioned at different levels, including locations near the upper and lower margins. This arrangement provides multiple screw-entry positions around the medial distal tibia and differs from a narrow, straight terminal section.

Waisted Shaft Holes for Longitudinal Fixation

The larger shaft apertures have a waisted, double-lobed outline with recessed walls and a raised rim. Their elongated geometry accommodates a longitudinal screw layout along the tibial shaft, with spacing that continues beyond a compact series of circular holes.

Tapered Profile Along the Tibial Shaft

The plate transitions from its irregular distal end through a slim, curved central section to a smoothly tapered terminal tip. This continuous profile follows the narrowing outline of the distal tibia and avoids abrupt changes in plate width along the medial side.

Left- and Right-Sided Plate Options

Left- and right-sided versions orient the contoured distal end for the selected limb. Subtle asymmetry between the upper and lower edges maintains this directional orientation along the shaft, making the VA Distal Medial Tibial Locking Plate a side-specific implant rather than a reversible generic strip.

Medial Distal Tibia and Ankle Fixation Applications

• Medial distal tibia fracture fixation
• Distal tibial ankle fixation
• Medial malleolar region fixation
• Long-segment medial tibial fixation

For posterior malleolar procedures, this plate can be considered alongside the Distal Tibial Malleolar Locking Plate within the ankle fracture product range.
