Designed to Perform
The APTUS Ankle Trauma System 2.8/3.5 is designed to provide all the low profile straight and anatomically pre-contoured plates for all surgical approaches, fractures and osteotomies around the ankle.
Anatomical Design
All anatomical pre-contoured plates are designed according to an extensive database to accommodate different patient anatomies.
Anatomical Flaps
Flaps in the Lateral Fibula and Anterolateral Tibia plates allow for capture of the Wagstaffe-LeFort fragment and Tillaux-Chaput tubercle.
Specialised Instrumentation
Controlled reduction of the syndesmosis.
TriLock
Patented TriLock locking technology provides multidirectional locking of the screw in the plate.
Approaches
The APTUS Ankle Trauma System 2.8/3.5 is designed for plate insertion in all the surgical approaches around the ankle including specific MIPO instrumentation.
TriLock Distal Fibula Plates 2.8/3.5, Lateral
Design Highlights
-
Plate is available with and without flap for Wagstaff fixation.
-
20° posterior-anterior oblong hole and single syndesmotic hole for placement of syndesmotic screws or suture button implants (single hole).
-
Plate position can be adjusted on the bone before final fixation.
-
Bone plates can be temporarily held in position during screw fixation of the plate.
-
1.6 mm thick plates with offset screw geometry in the shaft.
-
Eight distal screw fixation options for fixation of comminuted fractures or extra fixation in osteoporotic bone.
TriLock Distal Fibula Plates 2.8, Straight
Design Highlights
-
The oblong hole allows for the plate position to be adjusted before final fixation.
-
Plates are 1.6 mm thick with an offset screw geometry.
-
Standard plate has three screw placements in the distal section of the plate when extra fixation is needed.
TriLock 3.5, Straight
Design Highlights
-
Fibula fractures with syndesmosis injuries can be stabilized using the 2-, 3- and 4-hole 3.5 TriLock straight plates.
-
Holes are designed to fit the lateral button of a syndesmosis suture implant, allowing the button to sit flush within the plate.
TriLock Distal Tibia Plates 2.8/3.5, Medial
Design Highlights
-
Head of plate has multiple 2.8 mm and 3.5 TriLock and Cortical screws for the capture of small and large bone fragments.
-
Thin distal metaphyseal section accepts 2.8 mm screws for malleolar fracture fixation.
-
Plate can also be used for SMO with 2 - 3 mm axial compression through the compression hole.
TriLock Distal Tibia Plates 2.8/3.5, Anterolateral
Design Highlights
-
2.8 flap for capture of Chaput fragment if required.
-
Double row of screws in the distal head accept 2.8 mm and 3.5 TriLock and Cortical screws for rafting of the tibial plafond.
TriLock Distal Tibia Plates 3.5, T and L
Design Highlights
-
Distal holes are angled 10° proximally to prevent penetration of the joint.
-
Reconstruction plate design allows for the plates to be bent 3D.
