The LCP Proximal Lateral Tibia 4.5/5.0mm Locking Plate is an anatomically contoured, side-specific implant designed for the internal fixation of complex intra- and extra-articular fractures of the proximal tibia, particularly those involving the lateral plateau. Utilizing LCP (Locking Compression Plate) technology, it provides fixed-angle support to resist shear forces and maintain reduction, crucial in the weight-bearing knee joint. The plate is designed to accept both 4.5mm and 5.0mm screws and is available in multiple lengths to accommodate varying fracture patterns.
