Locking Talus Plate 2.4

media-97060

The locking talus plate 2.4 is a 6-hole plate that can accept 2.4mm locking or 2.7mm locking head screws. The plate can be contoured to fit on either the medial or lateral side of the talus. If necessary, one or more locking holes can be cut off to assure proper fit the talus.

The LCP foot plates (cuboid, talus and navicular) are intended for use in selective fractures, osteotomies, reconstructive procedures and revisions of the foot.

The plates have a locking hole for many sizes of locking head and nonlocking head screws. They are designed for optimal fit in each anatomic area. Connecting ribs between the plate holes enable easy bending and contouring of the plates. The plates are of a boss and rib design, in which the weakest cross section is across the connecting ribs. When the plate is contoured, it deforms across the connecting ribs and not across the bosses. This assures that the threaded locking holes maintain their ability to lock to the screws distorting the internally-threaded holes.

The plates are available in 316L stainless steel.
