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 plate-screw interface in the plate's locking hole by engaging the softer, Ti6Al4V 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. 2.0mm Proximal Suture Holes with Undercuts Allows for suture threading after plate placement Rafting Screws Designed to follow the angle of the tibial plateau to support the articular surface Monoaxial Hole 2 Kickstand Screws Designed to provide support for the medial tibia plateau Oblong Hole Variable-Angle Screw Holes Circular universal holes accept non-locking screws, and locking screws within a 30° cone 2.0mm K-Wire Hole To provide temporary fixation Placement This plate is placed on the anterolateral surface of the proximal tibia Placed in the proper position when the proximal end of the plate is adjacent to the articular surface allowing for the proximal rafting screws to support the joint surface The Proximal Lateral Tibia plate is designed for use in bicondylar fractures and lateral unicondylar fractures Fit Proximal Lateral Tibia Plate is designed to aid with the treatment lateral split, depression, or split depression fractures and bicondylar fractures of the tibial plateau. Designed with the use of SOMA: Stryker Orthopedics Modeling and Analytics. SOMA analysis shows better anatomic plate fit of the Proximal Lateral Tibia plate compared to Synthes large and small bend plates. 2 Technical specifications Standard plate lengths: 2-16 hole (95-291mm) Thickness: 3.3mm Left and right anatomic plate options Drill bits: Ø2.5mm x 135mm (542020) Ø2.5mm x 215mm (542021) Screws Rafting Screws The rafting screws are designed to follow the angle of the tibial plateau, reducing the potential for interference with the joint line at nominal angles. Kickstand Screws Two kickstand screw options which are designed to allow for the capture of posteromedial fragments one posterior and one more central. This triangular fixation may increase the stability and support of the plate construct.
