Safety Locking Implants - Small Fragment

Small Fragment Locking Plates, broadly termed as LCP trauma implants, are orthopedic devices used to treat fractures in smaller bones such as the distal radius, forearm, clavicle, distal humerus, proximal humerus, tibia, and fibula. These implants provide stable internal fixation through a combination of locking screw technology and compression plating, allowing for early mobilization and optimal bone healing.

Made from high-grade stainless steel or titanium, Small Fragment Locking Plate systems typically include plates, cortical screws, and locking screws of 3.5 mm and 2.7 mm diameter, designed for a precise anatomical fit. They feature combi holes, i.e., figure-of-eight shaped holes with threaded holes on one side and adjoining oblique, non-threaded holes on the other. The locking mechanism between the screw and plate offers angular stability, which is especially beneficial in osteoporotic or comminuted fractures.

These implants are widely used in trauma surgery due to their versatility, biomechanical stability, and reduced risk of implant loosening.
