Synthes 241.361 LCP One-Third Tubular Plate With Collar 6 Holes/69MM

Synthes LCP One-Third Tubular Plate | 6 Holes | 69mm Length | with Collar | 241.361

The Synthes 241.361 is a specialized internal fixation implant designed for the stabilization of fractures in bones 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, anatomically contoured profile that is the clinical standard for the fibula, ulna, and malleolus.

The addition of the Collar provides enhanced structural reinforcement at the screw-plate interface, ensuring a rigid "fixed-angle" construct that is critical for treating osteoporotic bone or complex comminuted fractures where traditional compression may fail.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Low-Profile "Tubular" Geometry: The 1/3 tubular shape is designed to wrap around the cylindrical anatomy of small long bones. With its slim vertical profile, it minimizes palpable hardware and reduces the risk of skin irritation in subcutaneous areas like the lateral malleolus.

• Fixed-Angle Stability: By utilizing 3.5mm locking screws, the plate and screws act as a single unit (internal fixator). This prevents "toggle" and secondary loss of reduction, which is vital when bone quality is poor or when the plate cannot be perfectly contoured to the bone.

• The "Collar" Reinforcement: The integrated collar increases the load-bearing capacity of the plate at the screw holes. This reinforcement ensures the construct can withstand the physiological stresses of early functional movement without hardware deformation.

• Limited-Contact Undersurface: The plate is engineered to minimize contact with the periosteum. By preserving the blood supply to the bone surface beneath the plate, biological healing is optimized compared to standard compression plates.

• Surgical Versatility: At 69mm with 6 holes, this plate is ideally sized for spanning mid-shaft fibular fractures or providing a "tension band" effect in distal forearm reconstructions.

Applications

• Ankle Trauma: Primary fixation of lateral malleolus (fibula) fractures, especially when skin tension or soft tissue envelope integrity is a concern.

• Forearm Surgery: Stabilization of diaphyseal fractures in the ulna or radius.

• Reconstructive Surgery: Providing stable bridge plating across comminuted zones in small-fragment trauma.

• Non-Union Repairs: Providing additional angular stability in revision surgeries where previous non-locking hardware has failed.
