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. Tapered End Designed for atraumatic submuscular insertion. Staggered Screw Pattern Designed to enable surgeon to choose point of fixation and allows for placement of screws around an implant in the intramedullary canal. Anterior Bend Up The Shaft Innovative medial plate design with metadiaphyseal twist to allow for screw placement anterior to posterior. Waisted Scalloped Shape Variable-Angle Screw Holes Circular holes that accommodate screws are universal; accepting non-locking and locking screws within a 30° cone. 2.0mm K-Wire Holes To provide temporary fixation. Placement Plate is in the proper position when the distal end of the plate is adjacent to the medial articular margin of the trochlea and anterior to the medial epicondyle. Plate placement designed to reduce the potential for interference with the medial collateral ligament. Fit Designed with the use of SOMA: Stryker Orthopedics Modeling and Analytics SOMA includes a database with CT scans from hospitals across the world and state of the art algorithms to mine the data for shape variability, bone density, and implant fit.1 Can be used for Periprosthetic fractures around a femoral component, and extra-articular fractures where a nail cannot be used 5.0mm Distal Medial Femur plate may be used as medial based fixation for metadiaphyseal fractures that extend into the shaft as well as large bone defects and nonunions where enhanced fixation with a second medial plate is required in addition to a lateral plate.
