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) Thickness: 3.3mm Left and right anatomic plate options Drill bits: Ø2.5mm x 135mm (542020) Ø2.5mm x 215mm (542021) Screws Pangea Proximal Medial Tibia Plates Pangea Proximal Medial Tibia Plates Multiaxial locking 3.5 (10-120mm) Cortex 3.5 (10-120mm) Cancellous Partially threaded 4.0 (10-100mm) Fully threaded 4.0 (10-100mm) References 1.
