The Straight Reconstruction Locking Plate is a highly versatile orthopedic implant engineered for the internal fixation of a variety of complex and reconstructive procedures. Unlike pre-contoured plates, its straight design allows for intraoperative bending and shaping to match the specific and unique anatomy of a fracture or osteotomy site. The plate's closely spaced holes are ideal for capturing multiple small bone fragments, providing a robust scaffold for reconstruction. By combining its flexible design with the rigid stability of locking screw technology, this plate offers surgeons a powerful tool for bridging large defects, stabilizing non-unions, and managing highly comminuted fractures in various long bones. Its low-profile design minimizes soft tissue irritation, promoting a high rate of healing and a swift return to function.
Straight Reconstruction Locking Plate
TOOLMED
Product Description
The straight, low-profile design allows the surgeon to bend and contour the plate precisely to match the complex shape of a fractured or osteotomized bone, providing a customized fit for each patient.
The holes are placed closely together, which is ideal for capturing and stabilizing multiple small bone fragments in highly comminuted fractures or for securing large bone grafts in reconstructive procedures.
The locking screw-to-plate interface creates a fixed-angle construct, which provides superior stability and is particularly beneficial for bridging fracture gaps or in osteoporotic bone where screw purchase is limited.
The plate’s low-profile and narrow design minimizes irritation to the surrounding soft tissues, reducing patient discomfort and the potential for hardware prominence.
Crafted from a high-quality titanium alloy, the implant offers exceptional strength, biocompatibility, and fatigue resistance for reliable, long-term fixation.
The Straight Reconstruction Locking Plate is primarily indicated for the stable fixation of complex, comminuted, or segmental fractures of various long bones, including the humerus, femur, clavicle, and tibia.
It is an ideal solution for stabilizing bone after a corrective osteotomy (a surgical cut in the bone) to correct a deformity, ensuring the proper alignment is maintained during healing.
The implant is also suitable for the treatment of non-unions and malunions (improperly healed fractures), providing the necessary stability for bone grafting or corrective procedures.

The Straight Reconstruction Locking Plate is a highly versatile orthopedic implant designed to address the challenges of complex bone fractures and reconstructive procedures. Unlike most plates that are pre-contoured for a specific bone, this plate's straight design is intended to be bent and shaped by the surgeon to precisely fit a wide variety of unique anatomies and fracture patterns. The "reconstruction" aspect of its name highlights its use in situations where the bone needs to be rebuilt, such as in comminuted fractures with significant fragmentation or after the removal of a tumor. The locking screws provide a fixed-angle construct that is crucial for bridging defects and stabilizing fragments.
The primary application of the Straight Reconstruction Locking Plate is in complex orthopedic surgery. Its versatility allows it to be used in various locations, including the clavicle, humerus, femur, tibia, and fibula. It is particularly valuable for stabilizing highly comminuted fractures where there are many small fragments that cannot be held with traditional compression. It is also used in corrective osteotomies to maintain a new alignment and in cases of non-unions where a bone graft is used to bridge a gap. The plate's design provides a strong, stable scaffold that allows the bone to heal in the correct anatomical position.
The Straight Reconstruction Locking Plate offers several key advantages for complex orthopedic cases. Its main benefit is its unparalleled versatility; a single plate can be used in multiple anatomical locations, reducing inventory needs and providing surgeons with a reliable solution for unexpected fracture patterns. The combination of intraoperative flexibility and fixed-angle stability allows for a customized and robust fixation. The low-profile design minimizes soft tissue irritation, a significant concern in reconstructive surgery where extensive exposure is often required. This leads to less patient discomfort, fewer complications, and a more favorable environment for bone healing.
The biomechanics of the Straight Reconstruction Locking Plate are based on creating a rigid, load-bearing construct that can bridge significant bone defects. The plate, when secured with locking screws, acts as an internal fixator, independent of the bone-plate compression. This is crucial for non-unions or highly comminuted fractures where the bone cannot provide structural support. The plate resists bending, torsional, and compressive forces, protecting the fracture site and allowing the bone to heal in a low-stress environment. The intraoperative bending of the plate allows the surgeon to customize the load sharing, ensuring that the implant is optimally positioned to promote a high rate of successful union.
The implantation of the Straight Reconstruction Locking Plate requires careful preoperative planning. The surgeon first chooses the appropriate plate length and diameter for the procedure. The straight plate is then bent and contoured intraoperatively using specialized bending tools to match the unique curvature of the bone. After the fracture or osteotomy is reduced, the contoured plate is positioned and secured with locking screws. The fixed-angle construct ensures that the plate and screws act as a single, rigid unit, providing powerful stabilization that is independent of bone quality.
Following a successful Straight Reconstruction Locking Plate fixation, a structured postoperative care plan is initiated. Due to the high stability and strength of the implant, patients are often able to begin early, controlled range of motion exercises or partial weight-bearing as prescribed by the surgeon. Physical therapy is a crucial component of recovery, focusing on restoring joint function and muscle strength. Regular clinical and radiographic follow-up appointments are essential to monitor fracture healing and ensure the implant remains stable throughout the recovery process.
The Straight Reconstruction Locking Plate is an indispensable tool in orthopedic trauma and reconstructive surgery. Its innovative combination of a flexible, bendable design and fixed-angle locking technology provides surgeons with a versatile and reliable solution for even the most challenging cases. By promoting high stability, anatomical reconstruction, and facilitating early patient mobility, the Straight Reconstruction Locking Plate leads to excellent clinical outcomes and a restored quality of life for the patient.
A reconstruction plate is primarily used for complex orthopedic procedures, such as highly comminuted fractures, non-unions with bone loss, or corrective osteotomies, where the bone needs to be rebuilt or "reconstructed."
While pre-contoured plates are designed for specific anatomies, a straight plate offers unmatched versatility. It can be bent and shaped by the surgeon to fit a wide range of unique and complex fracture patterns in various long bones.
Yes. The plate's design and range of sizes allow it to be used in various long bones, including the clavicle, humerus, femur, tibia, and fibula, depending on the specific fracture and patient anatomy.
The plate is designed to be a permanent implant. However, it can be removed once the fracture has fully healed if the patient experiences pain or irritation from the hardware.
A locking reconstruction plate provides fixed-angle stability that is independent of bone quality. This is crucial for reconstructive cases where the bone is often fragmented or osteoporotic and cannot provide strong support for traditional screws.
