  • 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.
      • Circular holes that accommodate screws are universal, accepting non-locking screws and locking screws within a 30° cone.
    • Triangular Head Shape
      • Proximal surface allows for a buttressing surface and 7 screw hole options for proximal fixation
    • 2.0mm K-Wire Hole
      • To provide temporary fixation
  • Placement
    • This plate is designed for proximal tibial fractures requiring plate fixation on the medial side
    • This plate is designed to be placed straight medial, but allows some anterior and posterior positioning flexibility
    • Suggested for use as a single implant for medial fractures, or a supplemental medial fixation in bicondylar fractures
  • Fit
    • Proximal Medial Tibia Plate is designed for partial articular medial plateau fractures and used for adjunctive fixation of medial plateau fragments in bicondylar fractures.
    • Designed with the use of SOMA: Stryker Orthopedics Modeling and Analytics. 2
    • SOMA analysis shows the Proximal Medial Tibia plates fits closer to bone compared to Synthes LCP medial tibial plates. 3
  • Indications
    • The Pangea Tibia Plating System is indicated for the internal fixation and stabilization of tibia bone fractures and osteotomies in normal and osteopenic bone, including:
      • Diaphyseal, metaphyseal, epiphyseal, extra- and intra-articular fractures
      • Non-unions, malunions, and deformities
      • Periprosthetic fractures
  • Approaches
    • Surgeons may use a standard medial or posteromedial approach to the proximal medial tibia
  • Technical specifications
    • Standard plate lengths: 4-22 holes (72-324mm)
