4.5/5 mm Locking Bone Plates Introduction

4.5/5 mm Locking Bone Plates are orthopedic implants used to treat fractures and other bone-related problems in large bones, such as those found in the Femur, Tibia, Humerus and Pelvic at proximal, distal and shaft areas. These plates are intended for usage in bones with minimal surface area, making them appropriate for treating minor or fragile fractures.

The 4.5/5 mm refers to the diameter of the screws used in the plate system. Screws used with these plates have a smaller diameter than those used with bigger bone plates. Because of the reduced size, the surgeon can operate with more delicate bone structures while still ensuring solid fixation.

4.5/5 mm Locking Bone Plates come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate the unique anatomical features of different bones. The 4.5/5 mm Locking Plates are placed on the bone’s surface by the surgeon and secured with screws, keeping the broken bone pieces in proper alignment. This helps to stabilise the fracture and allows the bone to heal properly over time.

Locking bone plates are called “locking” because they include specialised screw holes that allow screws to lock into the plate, providing more robust fixation than regular non-locking plates. This locking mechanism keeps the screws from backing out or loosening over time, increasing the overall stability of the structure.

Bone fractures are a common injury that can affect people of all ages. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the fracture and promote proper healing. The type of 4.5/5 mm Locking Bone Plates are used will depend on a number of factors, including the location and severity of the fracture, as well as the patient’s age and overall health. In some cases, a plate may be used temporarily and removed once the bone has healed, while in other cases the plate may be left in place permanently.

4.5 5 mm Locking Plates

4.5/5 mm Locking Bone Plates Specification

Plates available holes are 3 to 20 holes depends on plate design.
Plates are Available in Titanium and Stainless Steel.
Plate has combi holes and round holes. Combi holes allow fixation with locking screws in the threaded section and cortex screws in the dynamic compression unit section for compression.
The shaft holes accept 5 mm locking screws in the threaded portion or 4.5 mm cortical screws in the compression portion. Plate head accept 5 mm locking screws in the threaded portion or 4.5 mm cortical screws in the compression portion.
Locking screws offer a fixed-angle construct to support the articular surface, reduce the need for bone graft, and obtain fixation in osteoporotic bone.
4.5/5 mm Locking Bone Plates allow implant placement to address the individual fracture pattern.
Limited-contact surface reduces bone-to-plate contact and helps to preserve the periosteal blood supply.
Choice of different lengths of plate eliminates the need to cut plates.
Polished surface and rounded edges minimize potential for tendon adhesion.
Low plate and screw profile minimizes potential for tendon and soft tissue irritation.
Smaller plates and screws address fracture fragments individually, with less overall implant bulk
locking plate increases construct stability, decreases risk of screw back-out and subsequent loss of reduction. It also reduces the need for precise anatomic plate contouring and minimizes the risk of stripped screw holes.

Advantages of using locking plate for 4.5/5 mm Locking Bone Plates

4.5/5 mm Locking Bone Plates are locking plate so it does not have to precisely contact the underlying bone in all areas. When screws are tightened, they “lock” to the threaded screw holes of the plate, stabilizing the segments without pulling the bone to the plate. Locking screws make it impossible for screw insertion to alter the reduction. Nonlocking plate/screw systems require a precise adaptation of the plate to the underlying bone. Without this close contact, tightening of the screws will pull the bone segments toward the plate, resulting in loss of reduction and possibly the occlusal relationship
Locking plate/screw systems do not disrupt the underlying cortical bone perfusion as much as conventional plates, which compress the plate to the cortical bone.
Screws are unlikely to loosen from the plate. Similarly, if a bone graft is screwed to the plate, a locking head screw will not loosen during the phase of graft incorporation and healing. The possible advantage to this property of a locking plate/screw system is decreased risk of inflammatory complications due to hardware loosening.
Locking plate/screw systems have been shown to provide more stable fixation than conventional nonlocking plate/screw systems.

Locking Screw Technology

The heads of the locking screws contain male threads while the holes in the plates contain female threads. This allows the screw head to be threaded into the 5 mm Locking Bone Plates hole, locking the screw into the plate. This technical innovation provides the ability to create a fixedangle construct while using familiar plating techniques.

Locking Plate Technology

By using locking screws in a bone plate, a fixed-angle construct is created. In osteopenic bone or fractures with multiple fragments, secure bone purchase with conventional screws may be compromised. Locking screws do not rely on bone/plate compression to resist patient load, but function similarly to multiple small angled blade plates. In osteopenic bone or comminuted fractures, the ability to lock screws into a fixed-angle construct is imperative.

By combining locking screw holes with compression screw slots in the shaft, the plate can be used as both a locking device and a fracture compression device. If compression is desired, it must be achieved first by inserting the standard screws in the compression screw slots before inserting any locking screws.

4.5/5 mm Locking Bone Plates Contraindications

Contraindications may be qualified or total, and need to be taken into consideration when evaluating the prognosis in each case. The physician’s education, training and professional judgement must be relied upon to choose the most appropriate device and treatment. Conditions presenting an increased risk of failure include:

Any active or suspected latent infection or marked local inflammation in or about the affected area.
Compromised vascularity that would inhibit adequate blood supply to the fracture or the operative site.
Bone stock compromised by disease, infection or prior implantation that can not provide adequate support and/or fixation of the devices.
Material sensitivity, documented or suspected.
Obesity. An overweight or obese patient can produce loads on the implant that can lead to failure of the fixation of the device or to
failure of the device itself.
Patients having inadequate tissue coverage over the operative site.
Implant utilization that would interfere with anatomical structures or physiological performance.
Any mental or neuromuscular disorder which would create an unacceptable risk of fixation failure or complications in postoperative care.
Other medical or surgical conditions which would preclude the potential benefit of surgery.
All associated diseases which could endanger the function and success of the 4.5/5 mm Locking Bone Plates.

Warnings and Precautionary for 4.5/5 mm Locking Bone Plates

Before using 4.5/5 mm Locking Bone Plates, the surgeon and ancillary staff should study the safety information in these instructions, as well as any product-specific information in the product description, surgical procedures and/or brochures.

Plates are made from medical grade materials and are designed, constructed and produced with utmost care. These quality assure best working results provided they are used in the proper manner. Therefore, the following instructions for use and safety recommendations must be observed.

Improper use of 4.5 mm Locking Bone Plates can lead to damage to the tissue, premature wear, destruction of the instruments and injury to the operator, patients or other persons.

It is vital for the operating surgeon to take an active role in the medical management of their patients. The surgeon should thoroughly understand all aspects of the surgical procedure and instruments including their limitations. Care in appropriate selection and proper use of surgical instruments is the responsibility of the surgeon and the surgical team. Adequate surgical training should be completed before use of this plate.

Factors which could impair the success of the operation:

Allergies to implanted materials.
Localized bone tumours.
Osteoporosis or osteomalacia.
System disease and metabolic disturbances.
Alcohol and drug abuse.
Physical activities involving excessive shocks, whereby the implant is exposed to blows and/or excessive loading.
Patients who are mentally unable to understand and comply with the doctor’s instructions.
Poor general health.

Possible Adverse Effects

The following adverse effects are the most common resulting from implantation:

Loosening of the 5 mm Locking Bone Plates, which may result from cyclic loading of the fixation site and/or tissue reaction of the implant.
Early and late infection.
Further bone fracture resulting from unusual stress or weakened bone substance.
Temporary or chronic neural damage resulting from pressure or hematomata.
Wound hematomas and delayed wound healing.
Vascular disease including venal thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and cardiac arrest.
Heterotopic ossification.
Pain and discomfort due to presence of the Implants.
Mechanical failure of the implant, including bending, loosening or breakage.
Migration of implant resulting in injury.

Preoperative Planning for 4.5/5 mm Locking Bone Plates

The operating planning is carried out following a thorough clinical evaluation of the patient, Also, x-rays must be taken to allow a clear indication of the bony anatomy and associated deformities. At the time of the operation, the corresponding implantation instruments in addition to a complete set of 4.5/5 mm Locking Bone Plates must be available.

The clinician should discuss with the patient the possible risks and complications associated with the use of Implants. It is important to determine pre-operatively whether the patient is allergic to any of the implant materials. Also, the patient needs to be informed that the performance of the device cannot be guaranteed as complications can affect the life expectancy of the device.

5 mm Locking Bone Plates Precautions

Confirm functionality of instruments and check for wear during reprocessing. Replace worn or damaged instruments prior to use.
It is recommended to use the instruments identified for these 4.5 mm Locking Bone Plates.
Handle devices with care and dispose worn bone cutting instruments in a sharps container.
Always irrigate and apply suction for removal of debris potentially generated during implantation or removal.

4.5/5 mm Locking Bone Plates Warnings

5 mm Locking Bone Plates can break during use (when subjected to excessive forces). While the surgeon must make the final decision on removal of the broken part based on associated risk in doing so, we recommend that whenever possible and practical for the individual patient, the broken part should be removed. Be aware that 4.5 mm Locking Bone Plates are not as strong as native bone. Implants subjected to substantial loads may fail.
Instruments, screws and cut plates may have sharp edges or moving joints that may pinch or tear user’s glove or skin.
Take care to remove all fragments that are not fixated during the surgery.
While the surgeon must make the final decision on implant removal, we recommend that whenever possible and practical for the individual patient, fixation devices should be removed once their service as an aid to healing is accomplished. Implant removal should be followed by adequate post-operative management to avoid refracture.

4.5/5 mm Locking Bone Plates General Adverse Events

As with all major surgical procedures, risks, side effects and adverse events can occur. While many possible reactions may occur, some of the most common include: Problems resulting from anesthesia and patient positioning (e.g. nausea, vomiting, dental injuries, neurological impairments, etc.), thrombosis, embolism, infection, nerve and/or tooth root damage or injury of other critical structures including blood vessels, excessive bleeding, damage to soft tissues incl. swelling, abnormal scar formation, functional impairment of the musculoskeletal system, pain, discomfort or abnormal sensation due to the presence of the device, allergy or hypersensitivity reactions, side effects associated with hardware prominence, loosening, bending, or breakage of the device, mal-union, non-union or delayed union which may lead to breakage of the implant, reoperation.
