The X-Shaped Locking Plate is a low-profile titanium fixation plate designed for foot and ankle procedures. Its multidirectional locking mechanism provides stable angular fixation without requiring the plate to be compressed against the bone, helping preserve the local blood supply around the fracture site.
Available in 2.4 mm, 3.0 mm, and 3.6 mm screw configurations, the plate is designed for internal fixation of foot and ankle fractures, particularly in complex anatomical areas where multidirectional fixation is required.
The 20° conical locking holes are designed to accept corresponding threaded-head locking screws, forming a secure interface for stable angular fixation.
Sharp cutting flutes at the screw tips facilitate insertion without the need for pre-tapping, helping simplify the surgical workflow.
The anodized surface treatment provides color coding and enhanced corrosion resistance, while improving implant visibility during handling and implantation.
The plate features a low-profile body with rounded edges and a highly polished surface, designed to minimize soft-tissue irritation and facilitate placement in areas with limited soft-tissue coverage.
The plate geometry is tailored to the anatomy of the foot and ankle, providing improved conformity to the target fixation site and facilitating plate positioning.
Locking screw heads securely engage with the 20° conical threaded holes to form a stable screw–plate–bone fixation construct.
The ultra-low-profile, polished contour is designed to minimize soft-tissue irritation and reduce potential interference with tendons and surrounding soft tissues.
Compared with conventional screws, the locking screws feature a larger core diameter and shallow thread profile, designed to improve bone purchase and mechanical strength.
The available 2.4 mm, 3.0 mm, and 3.6 mm screw configurations provide options for fixation of small-bone fractures and allow selection of an appropriate plate configuration for the intended application.
