Synthes 241.331 LCP One-Third Tubular Plate With Collar 3 HOLES/33MM

Synthes LCP One-Third Tubular Plate | 3 Holes | 33mm Length | with Collar | 241.331

The Synthes 241.331 is a specialized internal fixation implant designed for the stabilization of small bone fractures, particularly in areas with minimal soft tissue coverage. As an LCP (Locking Compression Plate), it features the "Combi-hole" design, allowing for the use of both conventional cortical/cancellous screws and locking screws within the same construct. The One-Third Tubular geometry provides a thin, contoured profile ($1.0\text{mm}$ thickness) that is ideal for the fibula, ulna, or malleolus.

The addition of the Collar provides enhanced structural reinforcement and improved seating for the screws, ensuring an ultra-stable "fixed-angle" construct that is critical in osteoporotic bone or complex comminuted fractures.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Low-Profile "Tubular" Geometry: The 1/3 tubular shape is specifically designed to wrap around the cylindrical anatomy of small long bones. Its slim profile minimizes palpable hardware and reduces the risk of skin irritation or wound dehiscence in subcutaneous areas.

• Angular Stability: When used with 3.5mm locking screws, the plate and screws form a single rigid frame. This prevents "toggle" and secondary loss of reduction, which is a common failure point in traditional non-locking plates.

• The "Collar" Advantage: The integrated collar provides a reinforced interface for screw heads. This increases the load-bearing capacity of the plate at its most vulnerable points, ensuring the construct can withstand the physiological stresses of early functional rehabilitation.

• Limited-Contact Design: The underside of the plate is engineered to minimize contact with the periosteum. By preserving the blood supply to the bone underneath the plate, biological healing is significantly accelerated compared to standard compression plates.

• Versatile Fixation: The 3-hole configuration at 33mm is the ideal length for spanning simple fractures or providing a "tension band" effect in avulsion injuries.

Applications

• Ankle Trauma: Fixation of lateral malleolus (fibula) fractures where skin tension is a primary concern.

• Forearm Surgery: Stabilization of small-fragment fractures in the ulna or distal radius.

• Hand & Foot Surgery: Reconstructive procedures and osteotomies requiring low-profile, high-strength fixation.

• Non-Union Repairs: Providing additional stability in revision surgeries where bone quality is compromised.
