While standard lateral wall plates address general calcaneal body fractures, specific fracture patterns affecting the <strong>Anterior Process (AP)<\/strong> y <strong>Posterior Tuberosity (PT)<\/strong> require more targeted fixation strategies. Our system is engineered to provide orthopedic surgeons with the versatility needed to treat these challenging fragment-specific injuries effectively.<\/p>\n<p>Manufactured from high-grade medical titanium, these plates combine anatomical contouring with advanced locking technology. This ensures optimal stability even in osteopenic bone, promoting early mobilization and reliable fusion for patients worldwide.<\/p>\n<h3>Anatomical Solutions for Targeted Injuries<\/h3>\n<p>The MD system is divided into specific plating options to address distinct regions of the calcaneus:<\/p>\n<h4>1. Anterior Process (AP) Calcaneal Plate<\/h4>\n<p>Fractures of the anterior process of the calcaneus are often misdiagnosed as ankle sprains but can lead to significant long-term disability if untreated. Our <strong>AP Locking Plate<\/strong> is designed to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Stabilize the Calcaneocuboid Joint:<\/strong> Provides rigid buttressing for fractures extending into the articular surface.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Capture Small Fragments:<\/strong> Low-profile screw holes allow for the fixation of small avulsion fragments that are difficult to secure with screws alone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Minimize Soft Tissue Impingement:<\/strong> The anatomical shape fits the lateral aspect of the foot, respecting the delicate soft tissue envelope.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>2. Posterior Tuberosity (PT) Calcaneal Plate<\/h4>\n<p>Designed for extra-articular avulsion fractures or &#8220;tongue-type&#8221; fractures where the pull of the Achilles tendon displaces the bone fragment. The <strong>PT Locking Plate<\/strong> features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Superior Pull-out Resistance:<\/strong> Locking screws create a fixed-angle construct to counteract the strong tensile forces of the Achilles tendon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Versatile Screw Trajectories:<\/strong> Allows for bicortical fixation into the main body of the calcaneus for maximum hold.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Low Profile Design:<\/strong> Reduces the risk of posterior heel irritation and footwear conflict post-surgery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Caracter\u00edsticas y beneficios clave<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Variable Angle Locking:<\/strong> Compatible with locking screws that can be angled to capture specific bone fragments while avoiding joint penetration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Grade 4 Pure Titanium \/ Ti-6Al-4V Alloy:<\/strong> Offers excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and allows for MRI imaging with reduced artifacts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Polished Surface Finish:<\/strong> Reduces tendon adhesion and soft tissue irritation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Comprehensive Instrumentation:<\/strong> The system works seamlessly with our standard small fragment instrument sets, reducing hospital inventory costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Especificaciones t\u00e9cnicas<\/h3>\n<p>El <strong>MD AP and PT Calcaneal Locking Plate<\/strong> system is available in various configurations to suit different patient anatomies.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #ddd; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\">\n<thead>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\">\n<th style=\"text-align: left;\">Par\u00e1metro<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left;\">Specification<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Material<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Titanium Alloy \/ Pure Titanium<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Plate Type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Anterior Process (AP) &amp; Posterior Tuberosity (PT)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Compatibilidad de Tornillos<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>2.7mm \/ 3.5mm Locking &amp; Cortical Screws<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Grosor de la placa<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>1.5mm &#8211; 2.0mm (Low Profile)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Orificios de Fijaci\u00f3n<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Multiple configurations (Variable per plate type)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Side<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Left \/ Right Specific<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Esterilizaci\u00f3n<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Non-Sterile (Standard) \/ Sterile Available on Request<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Why Choose OrthoPro for Trauma Implants?<\/h3>\n<p>OrthoPro is dedicated to supporting the global medical community with high-quality, cost-effective orthopedic solutions.
