2.4mm T Locking Plate | Distal Radius & Small Bone Fixation | OrthoPro

Advanced Fixation for Peri-Articular Trauma: 2.4mm T Locking Plate

At OrthoPro, we specialize in delivering high-performance orthopedic trauma solutions to the global medical market. The 2.4mm T Locking Plate is a critical implant within our Small Fragment System, engineered to address the specific challenges of fractures near the articular surface. Whether treating complex distal radius fractures or metacarpal trauma, this implant offers the stability and versatility required by modern orthopedic surgeons.

Biomechanical Stability and Design

The 2.4mm T Locking Plate features a distinct T-shaped configuration at the distal end, specifically designed to support the widened metaphysis of small long bones. This geometry allows for the placement of multiple locking screws in the plate head, creating a “raft” of support that prevents articular collapse. This is particularly vital in cases of intra-articular fractures or when operating on osteopenic bone where screw purchase is often compromised.

Utilizing advanced locking screw technology, the screw heads thread securely into the plate holes. This creates a fixed-angle construct that acts as an internal fixator, maintaining fracture reduction under physiological load without requiring the plate to be pressed tightly against the periosteum. This design helps preserve the local blood supply, accelerating the healing process.

Key Surgical Features

• Anatomical Contouring: The plate is pre-contoured to match the natural anatomy of the distal radius and metacarpals. This reduces the need for intraoperative bending, shortens surgical time, and ensures a better fit.
• Low-Profile Architecture: With a minimal thickness and tapered edges, the plate reduces implant prominence. This is essential in areas with thin soft tissue coverage, such as the wrist and dorsal hand, to prevent tendon irritation and adhesion.
• Versatile Fixation: The shaft holes utilize a combi-hole or standard locking design, accepting 2.4mm locking screws for stability or cortical screws for compression. This allows surgeons to customize the fixation strategy based on the specific fracture pattern.
• Polished Surface: The implant surface is treated to be smooth and corrosion-resistant, minimizing soft tissue reactions and ensuring long-term biocompatibility.

Clinical Indications

The 2.4mm T Locking Plate is indicated for the stabilization of fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions in small bones. Its primary clinical applications include:

• Distal Radius: Fixation of the volar lunate facet, radial styloid, or specific column fractures where a smaller, targeted plate is required compared to a full volar plate.
• Hand Surgery: Fractures of the metacarpal base or head, particularly those with a T or Y fracture line extension.
• Foot and Ankle: Distal fibula fractures, metatarsal fractures, and forefoot reconstruction.
• Pediatric Trauma: Fixation of long bone fractures in pediatric patients.

Technical Specifications

OrthoPro ensures that all implants meet rigorous international quality standards. The 2.4mm T Locking Plate is compatible with standard 2.4mm instrument sets. Below are the standard specifications for this product series:

Material Excellence

Our implants are manufactured from medical-grade Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) or Stainless Steel. Titanium is widely preferred for its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent biocompatibility, and MRI compatibility, allowing for clear post-operative imaging.
