Distinctly Contoured to Align with the Distal Tibia
Intended for Healthcare Professionals
A.L.P.S.® Distal Tibia Plating Systems
Low Profile, Anatomically Contoured
TheÌýA.L.P.S. Distal Tibia Plating System combines strength with a low profile, designed to make it ideal for distal tibia procedures that often involve complex fractures and minimal tissue coverage. The plate’s design allowsÌýit to sit tightly next to the distal ridge of the tibia and provide strong fixation in comminuted fractures orÌýosteoporoticÌýbone.
Anatomy
- Ankle
Procedure
- Distal Tibia Fracture
System Features
The A.L.P.S Distal Tibia Plating System represents the next generation in anatomic plate design. It combines theÌýbenefitsÌýofÌýlow-profileÌýtitanium plate metallurgy with the advantages of multi-planar locked screw technology. TheseÌýfeatures allow the formation of a three dimensional matrix of fixed and variable angle screws to create a true subchondral scaffold.
F.A.S.T. Guide and F.A.S.T. Tabs Technologies
Designed to facilitateÌýaccurate drilling, distal tabs easily contour to conform to the bone andÌýprovides forÌýinterlocking alignment of distal screws to create a subchondral scaffold for rigid fixation enabling time savings in the OR.
Locking, Non-Locking and Multi-Directional Screw Options
TiMAX® proprietary surface treatment
Anatomically contoured implants designed for a smooth, uniform surface utilized in distal tibia surgery where soft tissue coverage is at risk. These low profile plates are designed to minimize discomfort and soft tissue irritation matching the anatomy of distal tibia.
Specifications
Benefits
Designed to minimize discomfort and Soft tissue irritation
- Low profile andÌýanatomicallyÌýcontoured plates mimic the distalÌýtibia allowingÌýit to sit tightly next to the distal ridge of the tibia.
Strong Fixation
- TheÌýlow-profileÌýtitanium plate metallurgy and multiplanar locking screw technology enable the formation of a three-dimensional matrix of fixed and variable angle screws to create a true subchondral scaffold thatÌýis intended toÌýprovide strong fixation in communted fractures or osteoporotic bone.
Stability
- The system allows the use of locking, multi-directional, and standard screws. This hybrid fixation concept is designed to allow the surgeon to stabilize the fracture either by the use of lag screw techniques through the plate, or by compression plating techniques. Locking screws serve to provide stability to comminuted, unstable metaphyseal fractures or in osteopenic bone.
Education
Literature
Surgical Approach TheÌýA.L.P.S. Distal Tibia PlatingÌýSystemÌýapproaches include an antero-medial incision, a standard anterior incision, or the lateral Bohler approach. When plating the fibula through a standard lateral approach,Ìýthe surgeon should identify the tibial incision first to avoid narrow skin bridges between the two incisions
