The LCP Lateral Distal Fibula 2.7/3.5mm Locking Plate is an anatomically contoured implant designed for the internal fixation of fractures and osteotomies of the distal fibula, particularly those involving the lateral malleolus. Utilizing LCP (Locking Compression Plate) technology, it provides fixed-angle stability crucial for maintaining reduction and restoring the anatomical length of the fibula, which is essential for ankle joint stability. The plate is designed to accept both 2.7mm and 3.5mm screws, offering versatility in fixation options.
