Product Description
The plate thickness is optimized to provide maximum strength with minimum bulk, specifically designed to reduce the "palpable hardware" sensation common on the lateral side of the knee.
The Plate-II head features a more concentrated and strategically angled screw hole pattern, allowing for better fixation of small articular fragments and superior support of the joint surface.
The shaft of the plate is designed with a scalloped underside to preserve the periosteal blood supply, which is vital for faster bone healing and reduced risk of infection.
The anatomical twist of the plate is further refined to match a broader range of tibial morphologies, reducing the need for intraoperative plate bending even in smaller-statured patients.
Specifically indicated for Schatzker type II and VI fractures where joint surface restoration and stable fixation are paramount.
The high-density locking screw cluster provides exceptional pull-out resistance in patients with decreased bone mineral density.
The tapered distal end and low-profile design make this plate the ideal choice for percutaneous insertion techniques.
Used in complex realignment procedures of the proximal tibia where a high-strength, low-profile internal fixator is required.

This is an advanced titanium implant used to fix breaks at the top of the shinbone (tibia). The Plate-II is a "refined" version of the standard tibial plate. It is thinner and follows the shape of the bone more closely. This is particularly important because the lateral (outer) part of the knee has very little muscle to cover the metal. The Plate-II uses a cluster of locking screws to act as a "shelf" that prevents the knee joint from collapsing while it heals.
The Plate-II is the preferred choice for surgeons when the patient has thin skin or when the fracture is very "busy" (comminuted), requiring many screws in a small area. Its multi-directional screw options allow the surgeon to target specific fragments of bone that might be missed by a standard plate configuration.
The primary advantage is patient comfort. By reducing the height of the plate, there is less friction against the skin and the iliotibial (IT) band. This leads to less swelling and pain during recovery. Furthermore, the Locking technology ensures the screws stay put, even if the bone is soft, providing a "bridge" that carries the body's weight across the fracture.
Biomechanically, the Plate-II acts as a fixed-angle internal fixator. Because the screws lock into the plate, they do not rely on the plate being squeezed against the bone. This protects the bone's blood supply. The specific screw trajectories in the head are engineered to resist the "tilting" forces that occur at the knee during movement.
The surgery is often performed through a small incision using a "submuscular" approach. The plate is slid under the muscle and aligned with the bone using X-ray guidance. The joint surface is first put back together with temporary wires, and then the Plate-II is secured with locking screws to "freeze" the alignment in place permanently.
Because the Plate-II is so low-profile, patients often find they can begin knee range-of-motion exercises with less discomfort than with traditional plates. Early movement is key to a full recovery, and the rigid stability of the locking screws allows this movement to happen safely without the risk of the bone fragments shifting.
The Proximal Lateral Tibial Locking Plate-II offers an optimized balance of high-strength stabilization and patient-friendly low-profile design. It is a superior solution for lateral tibial plateau fractures, ensuring anatomical joint preservation while prioritizing soft tissue health and patient comfort.
Plate-II is typically chosen for its lower profile and improved anatomical fit. If the patient has a smaller frame or if the surgeon is concerned about the plate being felt through the skin, Plate-II is the ideal choice.
Yes, the Plate-II often utilizes 3.5mm or 4.0mm locking screws in the head, which have smaller heads that sit flush with the plate, further reducing the overall bulk of the implant.
Yes. For very complex "bi-condylar" fractures (Type V or VI), surgeons often use this lateral Plate-II in combination with a smaller medial plate to provide 360-degree stability to the knee joint.
Yes, the TOOLMED Plate-II is available in a variety of lengths (number of holes) to treat fractures that stay near the joint or those that extend further down the shinbone.
As with all our titanium implants, the Plate-II is non-magnetic. While it will cause some "artifact" (blurring) in the immediate area on an MRI, it is considered safe for patients to undergo MRI scans after surgery.
