CytroFIX™ Tibia Distal Anterolateral Plate

High-Purity Titanium Constructs for Anterolateral Distal Tibia Fracture Fixation

The CytroFIX™ Tibia Distal Anterolateral Plate by Cytronics (an INVAMED orthopedic division) is specifically engineered for an anterolateral surgical approach to distal tibia fractures. Constructed from high-purity titanium, this low-profile implant offers a precise anatomical fit, stable fixation, and minimized tissue irritation—making it a reliable choice for complex fracture patterns, osteotomies, or nonunion corrections in the distal tibia region.

Anatomical Anterolateral Contour
  • Plate geometry follows the typical anterolateral profile of the distal tibia, reducing the need for extensive bending.
  • Low-profile edges to help mitigate soft tissue or tendon irritation, promoting patient comfort and faster mobilization.
  • Manufactured from medical-grade titanium alloy (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V ELI), recognized for optimal strength, biocompatibility, and corrosion resistance.
  • Lightweight design helps reduce stress shielding and fosters a favorable environment for bone healing.
  • Multiple hole arrays accommodate standard cortical screws or locking screws (including variable-angle locking), enabling stable constructs in both simple and comminuted fractures.
  • Screw hole design allows for compression or bridging techniques, depending on fracture morphology.
  • Distal tibia fractures involving the anterolateral surface, including extra-articular, partial articular, and certain pilon-type fractures.
  • Revision or reconstructive procedures for malunion, nonunion, or osteotomy corrections requiring stable fixation at the distal tibia.
  • Low-profile thickness (~2.5–3.0 mm) and anatomically curved edges aim to reduce tendon or ligament disruption in the anterolateral compartment of the lower leg.
  • Helps minimize postoperative hardware prominence and associated discomfort.
  • Insufficient bone stock inhibiting secure fixation, active local infection, or systemic conditions contraindicating elective orthopedic surgery.
  • Patient factors (e.g., severe osteoporosis, neurovascular compromise) may necessitate alternative fixation strategies.
