The LCP Distal Medial Tibia 3.5mm (With Tab) is an anatomically contoured, side-specific implant designed for the internal fixation of fractures and osteotomies of the distal tibia, particularly those involving the medial malleolus or shaft. The “Tab” feature (referred to as a “Knob” in the image text) provides additional fixation or guides alignment. Utilizing LCP (Locking Compression Plate) technology, it provides fixed-angle stability to resist axial load and shear forces, critical for stability in the distal articulating segment. The plate is designed for use with 3.5mm screws.
Key Features

Anatomical Contour: Side-specific shaping (Left/Right) ensures a precise fit on the distal medial tibia.
-
LCP Locking: Provides fixed-angle stability crucial for maintaining reduction and structural integrity.
-
Screw Diameter: Designed for use with 3.5mm screws.
-
Primary Use: Indicated for fractures and osteotomies of the distal tibia, including medial malleolus fractures.
