Pangea Design Variable Angle Locking Technology Pangea’s variable angle locking technology uses a CoCr locking screw, which is harder than the Ti6Al4V ELI plate, allowing for the screwhead’s threads to form a definitive locking position in the plate’s locking hole by engaging the softer, Ti6Al4V ELI material. This technology allows the user to aim and lock the screw into the plate within a true 30° cone of the predetermined hole trajectory. The variable angle drill guide provided with the system offers guidance with respect to the limit of the 30° cone. The locking mechanism remains functional for up to three attempts at locking screw insertion. Circular holes that accommodate screws are universal, accepting non-locking screws and locking screws within a 30° cone Hybrid LC Holes (locking/compression) Hybrid LC Holes allow for either active compression with the use of a non-locking screw in the compression section of the hole or variable angle locking with the use of a locking screw in the universal section of the hole. If locking is not desired, the universal section of the hole also accepts non-locking screws. Each Hybrid LC Hole is designed to provide up to 2mm of compression. 2.0mm Proximal Suture Holes with Undercuts Allows for suture threading after plate placement Proximal Cluster of Screws Designed for screw fixation of the proximal tibia, while addressing metadiaphyseal fractures that may need compression Kickstand Screw Designed to provide support for the medial tibia plateau Waisted Scalloped Shape Robust Plate Thicker than the other Pangea Proximal Tibia Plates and utilizes the large fragment screw platform for plating of proximal tibia fractures involving the metaphysis and meta diaphysis. 2.0mm Distal K-Wire Hole To provide temporary fixation Placement This plate is placed on the anterolateral surface of the proximal tibia. Designed for single implant fixation of proximal tibial fractures and non-unions where increased construct rigidity is necessary Proper position is achieved when the proximal end of the plate is adjacent to the articular surface, allowing for the proximal screws to support the joint surface. Fit Pangea Extra Articular Proximal Tibia Plate is designed to aid in the treatment of bicondylar fractures, allowing for treatment with a lateral plate and one incision. This plate is designed for single implant fixation of proximal tibial fractures and non-unions where increased plate rigidity is necessary. Designed with the use of SOMA: Stryker Orthopedics Modeling and Analytics SOMA analysis shows the Extra Articular Proximal Tibia plate fits closer to the bone compared to Synthes LCP Proximal Tibia plates. 2 Indications The Pangea Tibia Plating System is indicated for the internal fixation and stabilization of tibia bone fractures and osteotomies in normal and osteopenic bone, including: Diaphyseal, metaphyseal, epiphyseal, extra- and intra-articular fractures Non-unions, malunions, and deformities Periprosthetic fractures Technical specifications Standard plate lengths: 6-16 hole (133-356mm) Thickness: 4.3mm Left and right anatomic plate options Drill bits: Ø3.2mm x 145mm (542050) Ø3.2mm x 215mm (542051) Ø4.3mm x 145mm (542052) Ø4.3mm x 215mm (542053) Kickstand Screw Kickstand screw is designed to provide support for the medial and posterior medial tibia plateau Screws Pangea Extra Articular Proximal Tibia Plate Pangea Extra Articular Proximal Tibia Plate Multiaxial locking 5.0 (14-120mm) 4.0 (14-95mm) 5.0 (10-20mm) Cortex 4.5 (14-150mm) Cancellous 6.0 (20-150mm) 6.0 (30-150mm) 6.0 (45-150mm) References 1.
