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. 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. Metaphyseal Screw Holes 10 universal holes allowing for fracture 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 3.5mm Distal Medial Femur plate may be used for isolated medial condylar fractures or as a supplement to lateral plate fixation when dual plate fixation is desired.
