Plates for large fragments
Thin Narrow plate is a system used in fractures of the humerus, radius and ulna.
These plates are fixed by both cortical and cancellous screws.
Plate hole geometries
Non-symmetrical holes
Some Dynamic Compression Plates feature non-symmetrical holes which allow to achieve compression in only one direction. These plates feature a mid section which is placed at the position of fragments to be compressed. The non-symmetrical DCP holes are shaped like a portion of an inclined and angled cylinder. They possess one compres¬sion point at the inclined side and one neutral point in the middle.
Screw angulations
The DCP allows up to 25° longitudinal and 7° transverse screw angulation.
Plates available with 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 & 14 holes.
