CytroFIX® Distal Tibia Medial Plate
High-Purity Titanium Constructs for Medial Distal Tibia Fracture Stabilization
The CytroFIX® Distal Tibia Medial Plate by Cytronics (an INVAMED orthopedic brand) is purpose-built for secure and anatomically contoured fixation of distal tibia fractures, particularly on the medial aspect. Engineered from high-purity titanium, the plate provides robust stabilization, minimized profile, and versatile screw options for various fracture configurations—making it a trusted solution for both simple and complex injuries of the distal tibia.
Anatomically Contoured Design
- Medial curve tailored to match typical distal tibia geometry, reducing the need for extensive intraoperative contouring.
- Low-profile edges to prevent hardware prominence against soft tissues.
High-Purity Titanium Construction
- Fabricated from biocompatible medical-grade titanium (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V ELI) known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance.
- Allows for enhanced patient comfort and improved healing conditions.
Locking & Non-Locking Screw Options
- Multiple hole arrays accommodate cortical screws and variable-angle locking screws, supporting a range of fracture patterns.
- Variable-angle locking up to ±15° in certain hole configurations for challenging distal tibia fractures or comminuted segments.
Versatile Indications
- Indicated for distal tibia fractures (simple, intra-articular, metaphyseal, or comminuted), osteotomies, and nonunion fixation requiring medial support.
- Suitable for both acute fracture repair and revision surgeries.
Enhanced Soft Tissue Management
- Low-profile plate thickness reduces risk of soft tissue irritation and postoperative discomfort.
- Smooth, contoured edges to help minimize periosteal or tissue damage.
Contraindications
- Insufficient bone mass preventing adequate fixation, local infection at the surgical site, or systemic conditions contraindicating elective orthopedic surgery.
- Surgeons should evaluate patient history, fracture pattern, and vascular status before deciding on definitive fixation.
