Precision Fixation for Complex Fractures: 2.4 mm Mini Y Locking Plate

At OrthoPro, we are dedicated to supplying high-grade orthopedic trauma solutions to medical distributors, hospitals, and surgical centers worldwide. Our 2.4 mm Mini Y Locking Plate is a standout component of our Mini Fragment System, specifically designed to address the challenges of fractures near joints in the hand and foot. Its unique geometry allows surgeons to achieve rigid fixation in areas where space is limited and bone fragments are small.

Biomechanical Design and Stability

The 2.4 mm Mini Y Locking Plate features a specialized Y-configuration at the distal end. This design is crucial for treating fractures involving the condyles or bases of the phalanges, metacarpals, and metatarsals. The divergent arms of the “Y” allow for the placement of two locking screws in a small surface area, creating a triangular support structure that resists rotational forces and prevents articular collapse.

Utilizing advanced locking technology, the screw heads thread directly into the plate, forming a fixed-angle construct. This “internal fixator” principle is superior to traditional plates, especially in osteopenic bone, as it does not rely on plate-to-bone compression for stability, thereby preserving the periosteal blood supply essential for healing.

Key Features and Surgical Benefits

• Anatomical Contour: The plate is pre-shaped to fit the anatomy of small long bones, reducing the need for extensive intraoperative bending. The Y-shape naturally conforms to the widening of the bone at the metaphysis.
• Low-Profile Interface: With a reduced thickness and tapered edges, the plate sits flush against the bone. This is vital in the hand and foot where soft tissue coverage is thin, helping to minimize tendon irritation and patient discomfort.
• Versatile Hole Design: The shaft holes are designed to accept 2.4mm locking screws for angular stability or standard cortical screws for compression, providing intraoperative flexibility based on the fracture pattern.
• Rounded Edges: All edges are polished and rounded to reduce soft tissue adhesion and impingement.

Clinical Indications

The 2.4 mm Mini Y Locking Plate is indicated for the fixation of fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions in small bones. Primary applications include:

• Hand Surgery: Intra-articular fractures of the metacarpal heads or bases, and proximal phalanges.
• Foot Surgery: Metatarsal fractures, Weil osteotomies, and other forefoot reconstruction procedures.
• Complex Trauma: Comminuted fractures where bridging fixation is required to maintain length and alignment.
• Veterinary Orthopedics: Widely used for fracture repair in small animals.

Technical Specifications

OrthoPro ensures that all implants meet rigorous international manufacturing standards. The 2.4 mm Mini Y Locking Plate is available in various lengths to suit different clinical needs. Below are the standard specifications compatible with standard 2.4mm instrumentation:

Material and Quality Assurance

Our implants are crafted from medical-grade Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) or Stainless Steel. Titanium is preferred for its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent biocompatibility, and MRI compatibility. OrthoPro’s quality management system ensures that every plate undergoes strict inspection for dimension accuracy and surface finish.
