Semi-Tubular Plate 4.5mm. These plates are primarily indicated for areas of low stress such as forearm radius and are also recommended for the fractures of the fibula.
Compression is applied by eccentric positioning of the screws against the side of the screw hole furthest from the fracture line.
All Use 4.5 mm cortical screws and 6.5 mm cancellous screws for the fixation.
A compression effect can be achieved by eccentric positioning of the screws remote from the fracture line.
