1.5mm Mini Strut Locking Plate (Oblique-angled) | Titanium Hand Fracture Implants | OrthoPro

Specialized 1.5mm Mini Strut Locking Plate (Oblique-angled) for Hand Surgery

At OrthoPro, we are dedicated to providing orthopedic surgeons with the most versatile tools for trauma reconstruction. Our **1.5mm Mini Strut Locking Plate (Oblique-angled)** is a specialized implant within our comprehensive mini fragment system. It is engineered to address one of the most common yet challenging fracture patterns in hand surgery: oblique and spiral fractures of the phalanges and metacarpals.

Unlike standard straight plates, the oblique-angled strut plate features a pre-contoured geometry that respects the anatomy of small bones while facilitating the capture of fracture fragments that run diagonally across the bone shaft. For B2B clients, including medical device distributors and hospital procurement teams, this product represents a high-value addition to any trauma inventory, offering a solution where standard plates often fail to provide adequate fixation.

Biomechanical Design and Features

The **1.5mm Mini Strut Locking Plate (Oblique-angled)** combines the benefits of locking technology with a design specifically tailored for shear fractures. Key features include:

• Oblique-Angled Geometry: The defining feature of this plate is its angled configuration (typically left or right oblique options). This allows the plate to align with the fracture line or spiral configuration of the bone, enabling the placement of screws in a position that maximizes stability and compression across the fracture gap.
• Strut Functionality: The “strut” design provides a robust buttress effect. In cases of comminution or bone loss, the plate acts as a load-bearing bridge, maintaining length and alignment until healing occurs.
• Locking Technology: The plate holes are threaded to accept 1.5mm locking screws. This creates a fixed-angle construct, which is superior for maintaining reduction in osteopenic (soft) bone or when periosteal stripping must be minimized. The locking mechanism prevents screw toggle and back-out under repetitive load.
• Low-Profile Design: Given the limited soft tissue coverage in the fingers and hand, our plates are manufactured with a minimal thickness and tapered edges. This reduces soft tissue irritation, prevents tendon adhesion, and improves patient comfort post-surgery.
• Versatile Screw Options: The system is compatible with both 1.5mm Locking Screws and 1.5mm Cortical Screws. This versatility allows surgeons to apply lag screw compression through the plate (if the hole geometry permits) or independently, followed by neutralization with the locking plate.

Clinical Indications

The **1.5mm Mini Strut Locking Plate (Oblique-angled)** is indicated for the fixation of fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of small bones, specifically:

• Oblique Metacarpal Fractures: Stabilizing shaft fractures that run diagonally, where a straight plate might not offer sufficient screw purchase on both sides of the fracture line.
• Spiral Phalangeal Fractures: Ideally suited for twisting injuries of the fingers resulting in spiral fractures.
• Peri-articular Fractures: Used in fractures near the joint where the angled design helps avoid entering the articular surface while capturing metaphyseal fragments.
• Corrective Osteotomies: Stabilizing bones after corrective cutting for deformity correction.

Technical Specifications

OrthoPro manufacturing adheres to strict international standards to ensure product safety and efficacy. The general parameters for this implant include:

• Material: Available in Medical Grade Titanium Alloy (Ti6Al4V) or Stainless Steel. Titanium is highly recommended for hand surgery due to its biocompatibility, light weight, and MRI compatibility.
• System Size: 1.5mm Mini Fragment.
• Plate Shape: Strut / Oblique-Angled (often available in Left and Right orientations).
• Hole Configuration: Typically available in various lengths (e.g., 4 holes, 6 holes) to accommodate different fracture spans.
• Screw Interface: Threaded locking holes compatible with 1.5mm Locking Screws and 1.5mm Cortical Screws.
• Instrumentation: Fully compatible with standard 1.5mm mini fragment instrument sets.
