A mini polyaxial screw is a type of orthopaedic or spinal screw that allows for multi-directional movement, meaning the head of the screw can pivot in various directions before being locked into place. These screws are commonly used in: Spinal Surgery: Particularly in procedures like cervical or thoracolumbar fixation, allowing flexibility in rod placement. Maxillofacial [...]
Locking screws are specialized screws used in locking compression plates (LCPs) and other orthopaedic implants to provide stable fixation in fracture management. Unlike conventional screws, which rely on friction between the plate and bone for stability, locking screws have threads that engage both the bone and the plate, creating a fixed-angle construct. This design offers [...]
A ulna plate is a type of orthopaedic implant used to stabilize and support fractures or deformities in the ulna bone, which is one of the two long bones in the forearm (the other being the radius). These plates are surgically fixed to the bone using screws and are used to maintain proper alignment and [...]
Flexible Mesh Plate is a type of implant used in fracture fixation or reconstructive surgeries, particularly in areas where standard rigid plates may not conform well to the bone’s natural shape or where custom shaping is required. Key Features of Flexible Mesh Plate Mesh (Grid) Structure Design: The plate consists of a lattice-like structure with [...]
Orthopedic implants are medical devices used to support or replace damaged bones or joints, typically in cases of trauma, degenerative diseases, or congenital conditions. These implants are designed to restore function, improve mobility, and relieve pain. Here’s a detailed exploration of orthopedic implants: Types of Orthopedic Implants Joint Replacement Implants These implants are used [...]
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used by orthopedic surgeons to diagnose and treat joint problems. It involves inserting a small, fiber-optic camera called an arthroscope into a joint through a small incision. The camera transmits images to a monitor, allowing the surgeon to view the joint structures in detail and perform necessary surgical [...]
Small fragment implants are orthopedic devices designed for the fixation of fractures in smaller bones, such as those in the clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, pelvis, distal tibia, and fibula. These implants are essential in treating osteotomies, nonunions, and small bone fractures, providing stability and facilitating proper bone healing. Types of Small Fragment Implants Small [...]
Introduction to Variable Angle Plates Variable angle plates are advanced orthopaedic implants designed for fracture fixation, particularly in complex bone fractures. They allow surgeons to choose a screw trajectory within a certain range, rather than being restricted to a fixed trajectory, which is crucial for anatomical fit, biomechanical stability, and individualized patient treatment. Design and [...]
A pediatric hip system refers to a specialized set of implants, instruments, and surgical techniques designed for the treatment of hip disorders in children and adolescents. These systems are used in orthopedic surgery to address developmental, congenital, traumatic, and neuromuscular conditions affecting the hip joint. Indications for Use Pediatric hip systems are utilized in various [...]
A cable plating system is an advanced orthopedic fixation technique that combines cables and plates to stabilize fractures, particularly in challenging cases such as periprosthetic fractures, comminuted fractures, and osteoporotic bone conditions. This system is particularly useful when traditional screw fixation alone may not be sufficient due to poor bone quality or complex fracture patterns. [...]
