DistinctlyÌýDesigned to Fit the Distal Fibula
Intended for Healthcare Professionals
A.L.P.S.®ÌýFibulaÌýPlating Systems
Combing strength with a low profile
TheÌýA.L.P.S.ÌýFibulaÌýPlating SystemÌýaims to make it ideal for simple or complex fibula fracture procedures that involve minimal tissue coverage. TheÌýlow-profileÌýtitanium plate metallurgy and multiplanar locking screw technology enable the formation of theÌýthree-dimensionalÌýmatrix of fixed and variable angle screws to create a true subchondral scaffold that can provide strong fixation in comminuted fractures orÌýosteoporotic bone.

System Features
F.A.S.T. Guide and F.A.S.T. Tabs Technologies
Designed to facilitateÌýaccurate drilling, distal tabs easily contour to conform to the bone and interlocking alignment of distal screws to create a subchondral scaffold for rigid fixation enabling time savings in the OR
Locking, Non-Locking and Multi-Directional Screw Options
TiMAX®ÌýImplants
Greater fatigue strength compared to standard Type 2 anodization. Enhanced imaging compatibility compared to stainless steel.
Specifications
Benefits
Unique plate design
- The low profile,ÌýanatomicÌýplate mimics anatomyÌýis designed to makeÌýit ideal for simple or complex fibula fracture procedures that involve minimal tissue coverage. Composite plate combines the benefits of aÌýlocking compressionÌýplate with flexible plating technology.
Stability
- The system allows the use of locking, multi-directional, and standard screws. This hybrid fixation concept isÌýdesigned to allow the surgeon to stabilize the fracture either by the use of lag screw techniques through the plate, or by compression plating techniques. Locking screws serve to provide stability to comminuted, unstable metaphyseal fractures or inÌýosteopenicÌýbone.
Education
Literature
Surgical Approach: TheÌýA.L.P.S. Fibula plates feature Type 2 Anodized Titanium Alloy low profile, anatomically contoured implants. In distal fibula surgery where soft tissue coverage is at risk, theseÌýlow profileÌýplates are designed to minimize discomfort and soft tissue irritation matching the anatomy of the distal fibula, while still having the required strength.Ìý
