The LCP Proximal Tibia 3.5mm (Raft Plate) is an advanced anatomically contoured, side-specific implant designed for the internal fixation of complex intra-articular fractures of the proximal tibia. This plate features a “raft” of screws near the articular surface to provide enhanced subchondral support, vital for maintaining reduction in the weight-bearing knee joint. Utilizing LCP (Locking Compression Plate) technology, it provides fixed-angle stability to resist shear forces and axial load. The low-profile design minimizes soft tissue irritation, and the plate is available in both Stainless Steel and Titanium.
