Mini ‘L’ Plate for 2.0mm Screws: Minimally Invasive Fixation for Small Bone Fragments

The Mini ‘L’ Plate for 2.0mm Screws is a valuable implant for orthopedic surgeons performing procedures on delicate bone structures. This specialized plate offers several advantages for achieving stable fixation in minimally invasive surgeries:

• Small Size and L-Shaped Design: The miniature ‘L’ shape allows for secure fixation of small bone fragments or osteotomies (surgical bone cuts) with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. This is particularly beneficial in areas with limited space, such as the hand, wrist, or foot.
• Compatibility with 2.0mm Screws: The plate is designed for use with small, 2.0mm diameter screws. This combination minimizes additional screw hole creation within the bone, further promoting a minimally invasive approach.
• Stable Fixation: Despite its small size, the ‘L’ plate design provides strong and stable fixation at the fracture or osteotomy site, promoting optimal healing.

Applications in Orthopedic Surgery:

The Mini ‘L’ Plate for 2.0mm Screws finds application in various orthopedic procedures involving small bone fragments or osteotomies, including:

• Hand and Wrist Surgery: Fracture fixation in the hand or wrist, particularly for delicate bones like the metacarpals or phalanges.
• Foot and Ankle Surgery: Securing bone fragments or osteotomies in the foot or ankle, especially in procedures like corrective bunion surgery or certain fracture repairs.
• Minimally Invasive Arthrodesis Procedures: Fusion of small joints, such as those in the finger or wrist, may utilize this plate and screw combination for stable fixation.

Important Considerations:

While the Mini ‘L’ Plate offers minimally invasive advantages, consulting with a qualified orthopedic surgeon is crucial to determine the most appropriate implant selection for your individual case. Here are some additional factors to consider:

• Type and severity of the bone fracture or osteotomy
• Size and location of the bone involved
• Bone quality and density
• Patient’s overall health and medical history

Additional Notes:

• Mini ‘L’ Plates for 2.0mm screws come in various configurations and sizes to accommodate different anatomical locations and surgical needs.
• The material of the plate is typically biocompatible stainless steel or titanium alloy.
• The surgery to implant the mini ‘L’ plate typically involves fluoroscopy (live X-ray) to ensure accurate positioning of the plate and screws.
