Synthes 446.031 1.5MM TI Straight Plate 6 Holes S/29MM

Synthes 1.5mm Titanium Straight Plate | 6-Hole | 29mm Length | 446.031

The Synthes 446.031 is a high-precision micro-implant engineered for the stabilization of small bone fragments and the management of delicate fractures. As a 1.5mm system straight plate measuring 29mm in length, it is a foundational component of the Synthes Modular Micro-Fragment System. This plate is specifically designed for procedures where anatomical space is limited and hardware must maintain a low profile to prevent soft-tissue interference.

Constructed from implant-grade Titanium, the 446.031 offers the highest level of biocompatibility and is non-magnetic, ensuring high-fidelity post-operative MRI and CT imaging with minimal artifact. The 6-hole configuration provides extensive screw-fixation options, allowing the surgeon to bridge fracture gaps or neutralize forces across an osteotomy site effectively.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Titanium Biocompatibility: Commercially pure titanium promotes superior osseointegration and minimizes the risk of inflammatory soft-tissue response. Its lightweight nature is critical in micro-fixation where excess hardware mass can impede functional recovery.

• Ultra-Low Profile (1.5mm): Specifically engineered for anatomical regions with minimal soft-tissue coverage, such as the phalanges, metacarpals, or midface. The plate sits flush against the bone to prevent hardware palpability and tendon adhesions.

• 6-Hole Versatility: The 29mm length and 6-hole array allow for a high density of screw placement. This provides the necessary "neutralization" or "bridging" function required to shield the fracture site from physiological stress during the healing process.

• Malleable Contouring: While providing rigid fixation, the titanium alloy is designed to be intraoperatively contoured with micro-bending irons. This allows the surgeon to precisely match the three-dimensional curves of the patient's specific anatomy.

• Stress Shielding & Arthrodesis: Beyond fracture repair, this plate is a primary choice for temporary augmentation following bone lengthening procedures or for achieving stable joint fusion (arthrodesis) in small joints.

Applications

• Hand & Finger Surgery: Fixation of phalangeal and metacarpal shaft fractures.

• Craniomaxillofacial (CMF): Stabilization of midface, orbital rim, and frontal sinus fractures.

• Neuro-Reconstruction: Securement of small bone flaps or cranial reconstructions.

• Podiatric Surgery: Stabilization of delicate fractures or osteotomies in the forefoot and toes.
