The LCP Calcaneal 3.5mm Locking Plate is an anatomically contoured, side-specific implant specifically designed for the internal fixation of calcaneal (heel bone) fractures. The plate’s complex shape provides multiple locking screw clusters to capture and stabilize the articular fragments, maintaining reduction in the subtalar joint. Utilizing LCP (Locking Compression Plate) technology, it provides fixed-angle stability crucial for resisting the high forces applied to the heel during weight-bearing. The plate is available in various sizes (lengths) to accommodate different fracture patterns and patient anatomy.
