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. 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. Note: Hybrid LC Holes are not available with every plate type. Refer to the “Plate details” page for additional information. Proximal Screw Cluster Designed to offer bicortical fixation around a hip stem Oblong Hole To aid in plate placement and serve as an attachment site for targeter Staggered Screw Pattern For effective bicortical screw placement around an intramedullary nail, hip prosthesis, or stemmed femoral component Cable Plug Compatible Holes Cable plugs accepted in any round hole and may be used in conjunction with a 2.0mm vitallium cable Waisted Scalloped Shape Metaphyseal Screw Cluster Designed to provide anatomic fixation through multiple distal cluster hole options depending on size of plate Placement The first dedicated interprosthetic plate designed to span from the femoral condyle to the greater trochanter to maximize plate working length As the length of the plate changes, so does the radius of curvature.
