Modular Mini Fragment LCP 2.0, 2.4, 2.7

The modular mini fragment LCP system (in some countries it is called the LCP compact hand system) is intended for fixation of fractures, osteotomies, nonunions, replantations, and fusions of small bones and small fragments, particularly in osteopenic bone.

The modular mini fragment LCP system includes 2.0?mm, 2.4?mm, and 2.7?mm modules. Several plates were added to the existing set to provide more variety and to keep the plate lengths and number of holes consistent for all the different modules. These are the LCP 2.7 with 10, and 8 holes, and the LCP 2.7 adaption plate with 12 holes. Both versions are available in stainless steel or CP titanium.
