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 universal holes accept non-locking screws, and locking screws within a 30° cone 2.0mm Proximal Suture Holes with Undercuts Allows for suture threading after plate placement and K-wire placement Proximal Row of Rafting Screws Designed to follow the angle of the tibial plateau to support the articular surface Locking or non-locking screws can be used to raft articular depression Window Designed to allow tamp placement for articular surface elevation and bone graft insertion after provisional plate application Oblong Hole To aid in plate placement 2.0mm K-Wire Hole To provide temporary fixation 2.2mm Plate Thickness Designed to increase patient comfort with a lower plate prominence designed to reduce potential for soft tissue irritation. Placement This plate is placed on the anterolateral surface of the proximal tibia This plate is in proper position when the proximal end of the plate is adjacent to the articular surface allowing for the proximal screws to support the joint surface This plate is in proper position when it can buttress the split lateral tibial plateau fracture Fit The low profile (2.2mm) is designed to tightly contour to the shape of the proximal tibia with screw placement to allow buttress fixation of lateral split fragments Designed for treatment of Schatzker II fractures Under contoured to use the plate physically to provide buttress effect Proximal window for optional tamping, fracture visualization, and bone grafting after the plate is applied. Tamps are provided in Pangea instrument trays 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: 3-6 holes (85-127mm) Thickness: 2.2mm Left and right anatomic plate options Drill bits: Ø2.5mm x 135mm (542020) Ø2.5mm x 215mm (542021) Screws Pangea Partial Articular Proximal Tibia Plate Pangea Partial Articular Proximal Tibia Plate Multiaxial locking 3.5 (10-120mm) Cortex 3.5 (10-120mm) Cancellous Partially threaded 4.0 (10-100mm) Fully threaded 4.0 (10-100mm) References 1.
