CytroFIX® Proximal Tibia Medial Plate
High-Purity Titanium Constructs for Medial Proximal Tibial Fracture Stabilization
The CytroFIX® Proximal Tibia Medial Plate by Cytronics (an INVAMED orthopedic division) offers anatomically contoured, low-profile fixation for fractures, osteotomies, and nonunion corrections involving the medial aspect of the proximal tibia. Fabricated from high-purity titanium, it provides robust mechanical support, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility—suitable for both simple and complex fracture scenarios in acute trauma or revision surgeries.
Anatomic Medial Contour
- Plate curvature tailored to the medial surface of the proximal tibia, reducing intraoperative bending needs.
- Low-profile geometry minimizes risk of hardware prominence and soft tissue irritation along the medial side.
High-Purity Titanium Construction
- Constructed from medical-grade titanium alloy (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V ELI), offering optimal strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance.
- Ensures biocompatibility and reduced allergic potential while promoting an ideal healing environment.
Locking & Non-Locking Screw Compatibility
- Screw holes accommodate either standard cortical or locking screws, including variable-angle options for comminuted or osteopenic bone.
- Surgeons can combine compression and locking holes within one plate for flexible fixation strategies.
Enhanced Stability & Low-Profile Thickness
- Plate thickness of approximately 2.5–3.0 mm, supporting substantial fracture stability without excessive bulk.
- Smooth, contoured edges help limit damage to surrounding tissues and vascular structures.
Clinical Indications
- Medial proximal tibia fractures (including partial articular or metaphyseal), corrective osteotomies, or nonunion procedures requiring medial support.
- Ideal for acute trauma, malunion corrections, or revisions demanding stable internal fixation along the medial column.
Contraindications
- Extensive bone deficits precluding secure fixation, active local infection, or systemic health issues that contraindicate surgery.
- Surgeons should assess whether an intramedullary approach or lateral fixation is more appropriate for certain fracture types.
