Synthes 424.58 4.5mm Ti Narrow LC-DCP Plate 8 Holes 142mm

Synthes Ti Narrow LC-DCP | 8-Hole | 142mm | 424.58

The Synthes 424.58 is a high-strength internal fixation implant engineered for the management of fractures in medium-to-large bones where anatomical space is restricted. As a narrow-profile plate measuring 142mm in length, it is a foundational component of the Synthes 4.5mm Large Fragment System. This plate is specifically designed for procedures in the tibia and pelvis, providing the rigid stabilization of a standard DCP with a reduced width to minimize the surgical footprint and soft-tissue displacement.

Constructed from implant-grade Titanium, the 424.58 offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and a modulus of elasticity that more closely approximates human bone compared to stainless steel. This biological compatibility helps mitigate "stress shielding" and reduces the risk of hardware-related inflammatory responses.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Limited Contact (LC) Technology: The undersurface of the plate features precision-milled scalloping. This design minimizes the area of the plate in direct contact with the periosteum, preserving the vital blood supply to the bone. This "biological plating" approach is critical for reducing the risk of bone resorption and promoting faster primary union.

• Narrow Profile: With a reduced width compared to broad plates, the 424.58 is ideal for the tibial shaft or the pelvic brim, where over-bulky hardware can lead to skin sloughing or irritation of overlying musculature and tendons.

• Dynamic Compression (DC) Capability: The plate holes are engineered with an inclined "ramp" geometry. When screws are placed eccentrically (away from the fracture), the plate shifts as the screw is seated, actively drawing the bone fragments together to achieve high-tension interfragmentary compression.

• Titanium Elasticity: Titanium's lower modulus of elasticity compared to stainless steel allows for slight micro-motion under load, which can stimulate callus formation and secondary bone healing while maintaining structural alignment.

• MRI & CT Compatibility: Titanium is non-ferromagnetic and produces significantly less "flare" or artifact on post-operative imaging, allowing for a more accurate clinical assessment of the fracture union in 2026.

Applications

• Tibial Fractures: Stabilization of diaphyseal and metaphyseal fractures of the tibia where a narrow plate is required for adequate soft-tissue coverage.

• Pelvic & Acetabular Surgery: Fixation of pelvic ring disruptions or acetabular wall fractures where the narrow geometry allows for precise contouring along the pelvic brim.

• Humerus Trauma: Management of mid-shaft humeral fractures in patients with smaller bone morphology.

• Non-union & Osteotomies: Providing stable neutralization or compression for corrective bone procedures.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: NEW — Factory Sealed.
