Synthes 242.41 2.7mm T-plate 3 holes 32mm orthopedic hardware

Synthes 2.7mm T-Plate | 3-Hole Head | 32mm Length | 242.41

The Synthes 242.41 is a high-precision internal fixation implant specifically engineered for the stabilization of small bone fractures and osteotomies. As a 2.7mm system T-plate measuring 32mm in length, it is a foundational component for treating transverse and T-shaped fractures in the metacarpals, metatarsals, and phalanges.

The T-shaped geometry is designed to provide optimal anchorage in the expanded metaphyseal regions of small bones. The transverse head allows for multiple screw fixation across the fracture line or osteotomy site, while the longitudinal shaft provides a stable lever arm for neutralising rotational and bending forces.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Metaphyseal Stabilization: The 3-hole transverse head is specifically engineered to "buttress" the articular segment of a small bone. This multi-point fixation prevents fragments from tilting or collapsing under physiological load.

• Ultra-Low Profile (1.2mm): At just 1.2mm thick, this plate is designed to minimize hardware palpability and tendon adhesion. This is critical in the hand and foot, where minimal soft tissue coverage exists between the bone and the skin or gliding tendons.

• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Forged from cold-worked surgical steel, the 242.41 offers high fatigue strength and biological inertness, ensuring the implant can withstand the early stresses of functional rehabilitation.

• Anatomical Adaptability: While rigid enough for stable fixation, the 1.2mm stainless steel allows for subtle intraoperative contouring with plate-bending irons to match the specific dorsal or lateral curvature of the patient's anatomy.

• Symmetry and Precision: Precision-milled screw holes ensure a perfect interface with 2.7mm cortex screws, maximizing the surface area of the screw-to-plate contact for improved construct stability.

Applications

• Hand Surgery: Fixation of distal or proximal metacarpal head fractures (e.g., Boxer's fractures with articular involvement).

• Foot & Ankle Surgery: Stabilization of phalangeal fractures or metatarsal osteotomies (e.g., Weil osteotomy).

• Pediatric Trauma: Fixation of small bone fractures where larger plates would be anatomically obstructive.

• Reconstructive Surgery: Arthrodesis (joint fusion) of the small joints in the fingers or toes.
