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. Triangular Head Shape Proximal surface allows for a buttressing surface and 7 screw hole options for proximal fixation Variable-Angle Screw Holes Circular holes that accommodate screws are universal, accepting non-locking screws and locking screws within a 30° cone 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. SOMA analysis shows the Proximal Medial Tibia plates fits closer to bone compared to Synthes LCP medial tibial plates. Trajectory Variable angle trajectories of the proximal screw cluster in a 30° cone can potentially avoid screw collision. Predetermined trajectory Screws in the predetermined trajectory.
