  • 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.
      • Pangea Proximal Lateral 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)
