High-Purity Titanium Constructs for Medial Distal Fibula Stabilization
The CytroFIX® Distal Fibula Medial Plate by Cytronics (an INVAMED orthopedic brand) is specifically designed for secure fixation of distal fibula fractures at the medial aspect of the bone. Constructed from high-purity titanium, this plate combines an anatomically contoured profile with robust fixation capabilities—suitable for both simple fractures and more complex, comminuted patterns requiring stable internal fixation.
Anatomical Medial Contour
The plate’s shape reflects the typical curvature of the distal fibula’s medial side, reducing the need for excessive intraoperative bending.
Low-profile design to minimize soft tissue irritation in the peroneal tendon region and surrounding structures.
High-Purity Titanium Construction
Fabricated from medical-grade titanium (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V ELI), recognized for superior biocompatibility and corrosion resistance.
Lightweight yet durable, supporting faster healing and lower implant palpability post-surgery.
Locking & Non-Locking Screw Options
Multiple hole arrays accommodate various screw types: standard cortical, locking, or variable-angle locking screws.
Allows surgeons to address diverse fracture patterns with stable, rigid fixation.
Versatile Clinical Indications
Ideal for distal fibula fractures (simple to comminuted) involving the medial aspect, revision surgeries, or osteotomies near the ankle joint.
Appropriately used in conjunction with lateral fixation if bimalleolar or more complex ankle injuries are present.
Low-Profile Geometry & Soft Tissue Protection
Reduced plate thickness and contoured edges diminish the risk of hardware prominence or interference with tendon glide.
Improves patient comfort and encourages earlier mobilization in most cases.
Contraindications
Severe bone loss preventing adequate fixation, active local infection, or systemic comorbidities contraindicating surgical intervention.
Surgeons must evaluate the patient’s overall health and fracture morphology prior to implant selection.
