Product Description
The thickness of the plate is minimized in the distal head and malleolar region, significantly reducing hardware prominence and the associated risk of skin irritation or tendon friction.
The Plate-II features an optimized screw hole density, allowing for the use of smaller 2.7mm locking screws alongside 3.5mm screws to secure even the smallest articular fragments of the tibial plafond.
The proximal end of the shaft is tapered and the edges are rounded, making it easy to slide percutaneously under the soft tissue sleeve while preserving the periosteal blood supply.
Based on advanced anatomical studies, the Plate-II contour matches the natural flare and twist of the medial distal tibia more accurately, virtually eliminating the need for intraoperative plate bending.
Preferred for high-energy intra-articular fractures where multiple small fragments require stable "rafting" from the medial side.
Specifically indicated for patients with poor skin quality, diabetic neuropathy, or those at high risk for wound dehiscence at the ankle.
The dense distal screw pattern provides superior buttressing for vertical shear fractures of the medial malleolus.
Used to restabilize the medial column in cases where previous, bulkier hardware has failed or caused tissue necrosis.

This is a "next-generation" titanium plate used to fix severe breaks on the inner side of the ankle. Because the skin over your inner ankle bone (the medial malleolus) is very thin, standard metal plates can sometimes feel bulky or irritate the skin. The Plate-II is specially designed to be ultra-thin and smooth. It works like a tiny, high-strength internal splint that holds the broken pieces of your ankle joint together so perfectly that you can eventually return to walking and daily activities.
Surgeons choose the Plate-II for the most complex "puzzle-like" fractures. By using a denser pattern of smaller screws, the plate can capture and hold tiny fragments of bone that a larger screw might break. It is also the best choice for "keyhole" (MIPO) surgery, where the plate is slipped in through a small incision to protect the healthy skin around the fracture.
The biggest advantage is biological safety. By reducing the height of the plate, there is less pressure on the skin from the inside out. This helps prevent the wound from opening up after surgery, which is a common challenge in ankle repairs. The Locking technology provides a "fixed-angle" frame, meaning the screws and plate work together as one unit to keep the bone aligned, even if the patient has softer bone quality.
Biomechanically, the Plate-II acts as a buttress. When you stand, the weight of your body tries to push the ankle bones out of place. The Plate-II stands in the way of that movement, locking the pieces in their original anatomical position. The subchondral rafting screws create a supportive "floor" beneath the joint cartilage, ensuring the joint remains smooth and level.
The surgery is done with great care for the soft tissues. Once the surgeon has realigned the joint surface using temporary wires and X-ray imaging, the Plate-II is positioned. Its refined shape means it hugs the bone perfectly. Small, high-precision locking screws are then driven through the plate to secure the repair, and the plate is anchored to the main shinbone.
Because the Plate-II is so sleek and causes less irritation, patients often find their post-surgical swelling goes down faster. While you will still need to avoid putting weight on the ankle for a few weeks, the rigid stability allows for earlier gentle stretching and movement of the joint, which is vital for preventing long-term stiffness.
The Distal Medial Tibial Locking Plate-II is the ultimate solution for complex medial ankle trauma. Its combination of ultra-low profile design and high-density locking stability ensures that even the most difficult fractures can be reconstructed with maximum respect for the patient's soft tissue and long-term comfort.
Plate-II is usually chosen if you have thin skin or if the fracture has many small pieces. Its lower profile reduces the chance of the metal being felt through the skin, and its screw pattern is better for "shattered" bone fragments.
Yes. In fact, it is often preferred for diabetic patients because its low-profile design and MIPO-compatibility reduce the risk of skin complications and infections, which are more common in people with diabetes.
The goal of the plate is to restore your joint surface perfectly. If the joint is smooth and the bone heals well, many patients return to high levels of activity, including running, though this depends on the severity of the initial injury.
Yes, it comes in several lengths (number of holes) to handle fractures that stay near the ankle or those that extend further up the leg. It is also available in specific Left and Right versions.
Once the swelling has gone down and the surgeon allows you to start putting weight on the foot (usually around 6–10 weeks), you can typically transition into a comfortable sneaker.
