CytroFIX® Proximal Tibia Lateral Plate

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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
