Reconstruction Plate, Straight for 2.7mm Screws: Stable Fixation for Long Bone Fractures
The Reconstruction Plate, Straight for 2.7mm Screws is a valuable implant used in orthopedic surgery to achieve stable fixation of specific fracture types. This versatile plate offers several advantages for treating fractures in long bones:
- Straight Design for Shaft Fixation: The straight design of the plate is ideal for securing fractures along the shaft (diaphysis) of long bones, particularly in the limbs (arms and legs).
- Compatibility with 2.7mm Screws: The use of 2.7mm screws provides a good balance between achieving strong fixation and minimizing the invasiveness of the surgical approach.
- Applications in Various Fractures: Reconstruction plates can be used for different fracture types that are not severely comminuted (fragmented) in long bones.
Applications in Orthopedic Surgery:
The Reconstruction Plate, Straight for 2.7mm Screws finds application in various orthopedic procedures involving fractures in long bones:
- Fracture Fixation in Limbs: These plates are commonly used to secure non-comminuted fractures (spiral, oblique, or transverse) in the long bones of the arm (humerus) and leg (femur, tibia).
- Trauma Surgery: In cases of long bone fractures requiring a stable fixation solution, this type of reconstruction plate can be a suitable option.
Important Considerations:
The choice of a reconstruction plate and screw size depends on the specific fracture location, type, and severity. Consulting with a qualified orthopedic surgeon is crucial to determine the most appropriate implant selection and surgical approach for your individual case. Here are some additional factors to consider:
- Type and severity of the fracture (non-comminuted)
- Location of the fracture in the long bone
- Bone quality and density
- Patient’s overall health and medical history
Additional Notes:
- Reconstruction plates for 2.7mm screws come in various lengths and configurations to accommodate different bone sizes and fracture patterns in long bones.
- The material of the plate is typically biocompatible stainless steel or titanium alloy.
- The surgery to implant the reconstruction plate typically involves fluoroscopy (live X-ray) to ensure accurate positioning of the plate and screws within the bone.
