Synthes 241.381 LCP One-Third Tubular Plate With Collar 8 Holes/93MM

Synthes LCP One-Third Tubular Plate | 8 Holes | 93mm Length | with Collar | 241.381

The Synthes 241.381 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 ($1.0\text{mm}$ thickness), anatomically contoured profile that is the clinical standard for the lateral malleolus, distal fibula, and ulna.

The addition of the Collar provides enhanced structural reinforcement at the screw-plate interface. This ensures a rigid "fixed-angle" construct, which is critical when treating osteoporotic bone or complex comminuted fractures where traditional compression alone may be insufficient.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

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

• Limited-Contact Undersurface: The plate is designed 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.

• Extended Fixation: At 93mm with 8 holes, this plate is ideally suited for spanning long-segment diaphyseal fractures or providing a "tension band" effect in complex fibular reconstructions.

Applications

• Ankle Trauma: Primary fixation of long-segment lateral malleolus (fibula) fractures, especially in patients with thin soft-tissue envelopes.

• Forearm Surgery: Stabilization of diaphyseal fractures in the ulna or radius where extended plate length is required for biological "bridge plating."

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

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