Tibial Metaphyseal Locking Plate

Kangli Orthopaedics manufactures this pure titanium locking plate for fixation around the tibial plateau and proximal metaphyseal region. Its long, narrow body can extend toward the tibial shaft, while grouped proximal openings, larger oval openings along the central section, and a tapered terminal profile provide a graduated layout for the broader proximal tibia and narrower shaft-side area.

Proximal Hole Pattern for Tibial Metaphyseal Fixation

The proximal section features small rounded or lobed openings arranged in staggered groups across the plate width. This configuration provides multiple fixation points across the wider metaphyseal region rather than aligning every opening along a single axis. The arrangement is suited to plate positioning around the plateau-side portion of the proximal tibia.

Elongated and Oval Holes for Shaft Extension

An elongated slot follows the proximal hole groups, with larger rounded-oval openings continuing through the central and distal sections. This progression carries the fixation pattern away from the metaphysis toward the tibial shaft without substantially widening the main shaft section of the plate.

Bevelled Edges and Tapered Plate End

The plate perimeter and openings feature bevelled edges for a more gradual transition along the component. At the terminal end, the plate narrows into a short pointed or wedge-shaped tip, creating a smaller end footprint than a broad square termination.

Orthopedic Fixation Applications

• Fixation of tibial metaphyseal fractures
• Fixation around the tibial plateau
• Fixation extending from the proximal tibia toward the shaft
• Bridge fixation across the metaphyseal-to-shaft region

For procedures focused farther along the tibial shaft, this component can be considered alongside the Tibial Shaft Locking Plate when selecting an appropriate plate configuration.
