The Finger Locking Plate (Type II) is a low-profile osteosynthesis plate designed to provide stable angular fixation for fractures of small bones.
The plate features anatomically contoured plate bodies manufactured from TA3G commercially pure titanium or TC4 titanium alloy. Rounded edges and a highly polished, low-profile surface are designed to minimize soft-tissue irritation.
The plate incorporates 20° conical locking holes that precisely engage with compatible locking screws, including Type I solid and Type II cannulated screws. This locking interface forms a rigid plate–screw–bone construct without requiring compression of the plate against the bone surface.
Cortical screws with hemispherical heads engage with the compression holes and can be inserted eccentrically to generate axial compression across the fracture, providing additional fixation stability.
The 20° tapered threads in the plate holes match the corresponding screw heads to establish a secure locking interface and provide stable angular fixation.
The screws feature sharp self-tapping cutting edges to facilitate efficient insertion and help reduce insertion torque.
A colored anodic oxidation treatment enhances corrosion resistance while providing visual differentiation of the implant.
Hemispherical screw heads are designed for eccentric insertion into the compression holes, generating controlled axial compression across the fracture site.
Plate profiles are anatomically contoured for the intended fixation sites, including the phalanges, metacarpals, clavicle, and pelvis. Rounded borders and a polished, low-profile surface are designed to minimize soft-tissue irritation.
The 20° conical locking interface securely connects the screw head, plate, and bone to form a rigid fixation construct.
Serrated plate edges and sharp self-tapping screw threads are designed to improve initial mechanical stability during fixation.
The low-profile plate with smooth, rounded surfaces is designed to minimize soft-tissue irritation and reduce the potential for tendon or skin adherence.
The locking mechanism provides angular stability without requiring compression of the plate against the bone surface, helping preserve the periosteal blood supply around the fracture site.
Multiple plate sizes and configurations are available for fixation of various fractures involving the extremities, clavicle, and pelvis.
The Finger Locking Plate (Type II) is indicated for internal fixation of fractures involving:
The system is suitable for transverse, oblique, spiral, and comminuted fracture patterns requiring angular stability and limited soft-tissue disruption.
