Combing strength with a low profile

TheÌýA.L.P.S.ÌýFibulaÌýPlating SystemÌýaims to make it ideal for simple or complex fibula fracture procedures that involve minimal tissue coverage. TheÌýlow-profileÌýtitanium plate metallurgy and multiplanar locking screw technology enable the formation of theÌýthree-dimensionalÌýmatrix of fixed and variable angle screws to create a true subchondral scaffold that can provide strong fixation in comminuted fractures orÌýosteoporotic bone.

System Features

The A.L.P.S. FibulaÌýPlating System represents the next generation in anatomic plate design.ÌýThe anatomic locking plate is designed toÌýmimicÌýthe anatomy of the distal fibula, while the composite locking plate combines theÌýbenefitsÌýof a small fragment plate with flexible plating technology. These features give surgeons theÌýdistinctÌýcapability to achieve anatomically contoured shapes, such as the distal fibula, to treat even the most challenging cases.

System Features

F.A.S.T. Guide and F.A.S.T. Tabs Technologies

Designed to facilitateÌýaccurate drilling, distal tabs easily contour to conform to the bone and interlocking alignment of distal screws to create a subchondral scaffold for rigid fixation enabling time savings in the OR

Locking, Non-Locking and Multi-Directional Screw Options

TiMAX®ÌýImplants

Greater fatigue strength compared to standard Type 2 anodization. Enhanced imaging compatibility compared to stainless steel.

Benefits

Unique plate design

  • The low profile,ÌýanatomicÌýplate mimics anatomyÌýis designed to makeÌýit ideal for simple or complex fibula fracture procedures that involve minimal tissue coverage. Composite plate combines the benefits of aÌýlocking compressionÌýplate with flexible plating technology.

Stability

  • The system allows the use of locking, multi-directional, and standard screws. This hybrid fixation concept isÌýdesigned to allow the surgeon to stabilize the fracture either by the use of lag screw techniques through the plate, or by compression plating techniques. Locking screws serve to provide stability to comminuted, unstable metaphyseal fractures or inÌýosteopenicÌýbone.

Education

Literature

A.L.P.S.ÌýFibulaÌýPlating System

Surgical Approach: TheÌýA.L.P.S. Fibula plates feature Type 2 Anodized Titanium Alloy low profile, anatomically contoured implants. In distal fibula surgery where soft tissue coverage is at risk, theseÌýlow profileÌýplates are designed to minimize discomfort and soft tissue irritation matching the anatomy of the distal fibula, while still having the required strength.Ìý
