Reliable Stability for Peri-Articular Fractures: 2.4 mm Mini T Locking Plate

At OrthoPro, we are dedicated to manufacturing and supplying top-tier orthopedic trauma solutions to medical distributors and healthcare providers worldwide. The 2.4 mm Mini T Locking Plate is a vital component of our comprehensive Mini Fragment System. Designed to bridge the gap between micro-fixation and large fragment plates, this implant offers the perfect balance of strength and profile for fractures affecting the hand, wrist, and foot.

Biomechanical Excellence and T-Shape Design

The 2.4 mm Mini T Locking Plate is specifically shaped to support the widened ends of small long bones (the metaphysis). The “T” configuration allows for the placement of two locking screws in the head of the plate, providing a stable platform that supports the articular block. This is particularly effective in preventing the collapse of the articular surface in comminuted fractures.

Unlike traditional non-locking plates that require friction against the bone for stability, our locking technology couples the screw head to the plate holes. This creates a single, rigid construct—an “internal fixator”—that maintains fracture reduction even under load. This mechanism is crucial when treating osteopenic bone, where traditional screws might strip or loosen.

Key Features and Surgical Advantages

Surgeons choose the OrthoPro 2.4 mm system for its versatility and user-friendly design:

• Low-Profile Architecture: The plate is manufactured with a reduced thickness and tapered edges. This minimizes implant prominence, which is critical in areas with minimal soft tissue coverage, such as the distal radius or the dorsum of the hand, significantly reducing the risk of tendon irritation.
• Anatomical Contouring: The plate is pre-contoured to fit the natural curvature of the metaphysis, reducing the need for extensive intraoperative bending and shortening surgical time.
• Versatile Screw Options: The plate holes are designed to accept 2.4mm locking screws for angular stability or standard cortical screws for dynamic compression, allowing surgeons to tailor the fixation strategy to the specific fracture pattern.
• Preservation of Blood Supply: The locking design allows the plate to sit slightly off the bone surface, preserving the periosteum and its vital blood supply, which accelerates the healing process.

Clinical Indications

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

• Distal Radius: Fixation of the volar rim (lunate facet) or radial styloid fractures where a small, strong plate is required.
• Metacarpals: Fractures of the metacarpal base or head, particularly T-type or Y-type intra-articular fractures.
• Radial Head: Reconstruction of radial head fractures.
• Foot and Ankle: Distal fibula avulsion fractures, metatarsal fractures, and forefoot osteotomies.
• Pediatric Orthopedics: Fixation of long bone fractures in pediatric patients.

Technical Specifications

OrthoPro products are manufactured to strict international quality standards. The 2.4 mm Mini T Locking Plate is available in various lengths to accommodate different clinical needs. Below are the standard specifications compatible with 2.4mm instrumentation:

Material and Manufacturing Quality

Our implants are crafted from high-grade Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) or Stainless Steel, ensuring exceptional biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and fatigue strength. The surface is treated to ensure a smooth finish, reducing tissue adhesion and improving patient comfort.
