Tibial Shaft Locking Plate

Kangli Orthopaedics manufactures this pure titanium tibial shaft locking plate for fixation along the long central section of the tibia. Its straight body features paired groups of elongated openings, compact apertures near the tapered ends, and a continuous central bridge. This configuration distinguishes the plate from designs shaped for the proximal metaphysis and provides a defined layout for screw placement along the tibial shaft.

Titanium Plate Design for Tibial Shaft Fixation

The plate has a narrow, consistent profile from end to end. Its central body remains uninterrupted between the two main opening groups, creating a continuous bridge across the shaft while concentrating screw-positioning options toward the plate ends.

Longitudinal Openings for Defined Screw Placement

Waisted or paired-lobed openings are arranged in groups near each end of the plate. The separated fields establish a lengthwise fixation pattern and leave the central section free of large openings. This layout is suited to plate positioning along an extended tibial shaft segment.

Compact Terminal Holes Near the Tapered Ends

A small circular aperture is positioned near each tapered end. Rather than continuing the larger openings into the tips, these compact terminal holes provide distinct end positions while allowing the plate to narrow gradually toward its extremities.

Tapered Profile for Consistent Plate Contour

The plate body has gently parallel sides with faceted edges. Both ends taper toward rounded or chamfered points, producing a gradual transition from the central body to a narrower terminal profile instead of an abrupt squared finish.

Applications for Tibial Shaft Fixation

• fixation along the tibial shaft
• bridge fixation across an extended shaft segment
• plate fixation using separated longitudinal opening fields
• terminal fixation near the tapered ends of the plate

For fixation around the wider proximal tibial region, the Tibial Metaphyseal Locking Plate is the adjacent catalogue option from Kangli Orthopaedics.
