Synthes 245.20 2.7mm Reconstruction Plate 6 Holes 48mm

Synthes 2.7mm Reconstruction Plate | 6-Hole | 48mm | 245.20

The Synthes 245.20 is a highly adaptable internal fixation implant engineered for the stabilization of complex fractures in small bone structures. As a 6-hole plate measuring 48mm in length, it is a foundational component of the Synthes 2.7mm Mini-Fragment System.

Unlike standard compression plates, the Reconstruction Plate features deep notches between the screw holes. This specific geometry allows the plate to be contoured in three planes (lateral bending, longitudinal bending, and torsion) without distorting the screw holes. This makes the 245.20 the gold standard for fixing fractures in bones with complex, non-linear surfaces, such as the metacarpals, pelvis, or distal fibula.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Multi-Planar Malleability: The notched "necked" design between holes allows the surgeon to bend and twist the plate to match the unique anatomical topography of the patient. This ensures a "custom-fit" neutralization or buttress construct that minimizes the gap between the bone and the implant.

• Low-Profile Architecture: With a narrow 8mm width, the 245.20 is designed to sit beneath delicate soft-tissue envelopes. This is critical in hand and wrist surgery to prevent tendon adhesions and minimize hardware palpability.

• Rigid Fixation Profile: Despite its malleability, the 3.3mm thickness provides the structural stiffness required to withstand the mechanical stresses encountered during the healing of small bone fractures.

• Versatile Screw Patterning: The 8mm spacing between holes allows for a variety of screw configurations. Surgeons can utilize 2.7mm cortex screws to achieve rigid fixation or lag screws through the plate to provide active interfragmentary compression.

• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Forged from vacuum-melted surgical steel, the plate offers high fatigue resistance and biological inertness, facilitating early functional mobilization in 2026.

Applications

• Hand & Wrist Surgery: Fixation of complex metacarpal shaft fractures and stabilization of carpal fusions.

• Foot & Ankle Surgery: Stabilization of metatarsal fractures and small-fragment midfoot fusions.

• Pelvic & Acetabular Surgery: Providing secondary or supplemental fixation for small-fragment pelvic rim fractures.

• Maxillofacial & CMF: Reconstruction of the mandible or midface where 2.7mm hardware is indicated for load-bearing stability.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: NEW — Factory Sealed.

• Integrity: The implant is securely housed within its original manufacturer's packaging. Both inner and outer seals are intact, ensuring full material integrity and suitability for clinical use.

• Sterilization Note: This device is typically provided as a NON-STERILE implant within the packaging. It MUST be properly cleaned and sterilized (standard steam autoclave) in accordance with validated hospital protocols and Synthes’ Instructions for Use (IFU) prior to clinical implantation.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in orthopedic logistics, Primis Medical ensures all Synthes implants are stored and handled to maintain their mechanical and chemical precision.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in protective packaging to ensure the 48mm longitudinal alignment and 3.3mm thickness remain pristine and unbent during transit.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
