TRILOCK DISTAL TIBIA PLATES 2.8/3.5, ANTEROLATERAL
FEATURES
- Lateral flap on the distal section of the plate
- Seven screw hole options in the distal section for 2.8 mm and 3.5 mm TriLock or cortical screws
- Oblong hole for 3.5 mm cortical screws
- Anatomically preshaped distal section with a double row of screws
CLINICAL BENEFITS
- Option to use small or large screws in bone fragments
- Oblong hole allows for adjustment of the plate position before final fixation
- 2 – 3 mm of compression can be achieved through the plate with one cortical screw
- 2.8 mm screws in the plate end allow for the capture of malleolar fragments in Weber fractures
COLOR CODE
orange: 2.8

APTUS® Ankle
The APTUS Ankle Trauma System 2.8/3.5 is designed to provide a variety of fixation options for fractures and osteotomies of the distal tibia and fibula and consists of multiple low profile, straight and anatomically-pre-contoured plates.
The combination of 2.8 and 3.5 screws and TriLock locking technology in the distal hole clusters allows for maximized fixation at the fracture site, especially in osteoporotic bone or comminuted fractures.
Specific plate features such as flaps and very distal 2.8 screw holes allow for the fixation of Wagstaffe fragment, Chaput fragment and distal malleolar fragments.
