High-Purity Titanium Constructs for Lateral Proximal Tibial Fracture Stabilization
The CytroFIX® Proximal Tibia Lateral Plate by Cytronics (an INVAMED orthopedic division) is specifically designed for lateral approach fixation of the proximal tibia. Crafted from high-purity titanium, this plate offers robust stability and a contoured, low-profile configuration that supports a variety of fracture patterns—including intra-articular, extra-articular, and metaphyseal fractures. Whether addressing acute trauma or revision surgery, the advanced plate geometry aims to optimize clinical outcomes while minimizing soft tissue irritation.
Anatomical Lateral Contour
Tailored curvature aligns with the natural lateral profile of the proximal tibia, reducing the need for extensive intraoperative bending.
Low-profile edges help mitigate hardware prominence against surrounding soft tissues and ligaments.
High-Purity Titanium Construction
Manufactured from medical-grade titanium (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V ELI) recognized for its superior strength, biocompatibility, and corrosion resistance.
Minimizes risk of adverse reactions, fosters optimal healing conditions, and offers a high strength-to-weight ratio.
Locking & Non-Locking Screw Versatility
Multiple hole arrays support standard cortical screws or locking screws (including variable-angle locking), delivering stable constructs in both simple and complex fracture scenarios.
Variable-angle locking technology provides additional fixation confidence for comminuted or osteopenic bone.
Clinical Indications
Suitable for proximal tibia fractures (lateral condyle, bicondylar, or proximal metaphysis), osteotomies, or nonunion repairs requiring lateral support.
Ideal for acute mid-to-high-energy fractures and revision procedures that demand secure lateral plating.
Low-Profile Geometry
Plate thickness of approximately 2.5–3.0 mm helps minimize soft tissue interference and reduces postoperative discomfort.
Smooth, contoured edges and carefully placed screw holes aid in restoring knee alignment while respecting neighboring anatomical structures.
Contraindications
Severe bone defects inhibiting adequate fixation, active local infections, or patient comorbidities that contraindicate elective surgery.
Unsuitable for certain fracture types requiring intramedullary or medial fixation approach, as determined by surgeon’s discretion.
